Knowing is Half the Battle

"Well, it's the age old question. Do you want to know how and when you're going to die or would you rather not know?"
"And what is the professional consensus?"
"Oh, you don't want to know. Knowing makes it ten times worse..."

It seems like an epic disagreement... Saturday Night Live vs. Time Magazine, who writes this month:

When asked to contemplate the occasion of their own demise, people become happier than usual, instead of sadder, according to a new study in the November issue of Psychological Science.

Wow, I guess Tuesdays With Morrie was right, after all...
