Let's say you have 72 hours to live, the most valuable time in your life, what will you do during the final hours ? which is what the poem Ulysses basically talks about.
Would you rather adventure around the world alone or stay with your loved ones ? and why ?
In my opinion, I would like to adventure around the world. Not because that I don't care about my loved one, but because that will probably make it worse that they will suffer from grief even more and remembered as being loved rather than inspiring, as in my opinion I would like to inspire others. Going to an adventure will get you to meet with other people and share your knowledge that will help them and get the knowledge puncooled down for generations, an anonymous help that they don't have to grief for me. Additionally coming across fascinating natural views truly will make me feel alive, even though there are 72 hours, but it will make you see life at it's best.

Honestly, I would stay with my loved ones. I spent half of my life living in all kinds of places which I had to adjust into every single places since I had to live there therefore, I'm tired of traveling. I would stay with my family and my best friends because I want to share my feelings lastly with the people I was happy to have them. I will tell them how I appreciated having them and how every single one of them changed my life. I do like your opinion how you stated you would "come across fascinating natural views truly will make me feel alive, even though there are 72 hours". I know how deadly we felt these days therefore, it would be nice if you spend your last minute feeling fresh and most alive; same reasons why we're skydiving!!

I have to go with Heesue's idea, go on an adventure with the loved ones. This could fill up both of the choices, so when we are dying, we won't have any regrets (if that's the only thing we need to do). No matter how we make our choice in our death moment, the thought that tells finally you gonna die will torture us even we are in a such happy moment with our loved ones. So i would honestly just spend my time by myself, alone. So i can at least have less affection towards my loved ones.

I agree with melody idea. I will be preferred to stay with love the love I mean which country and stay with family and people and friend. Because in my life, I'm tried with traveling and many time I spread from my family I have stayed in another place which they are far to me. I will join my last feeling hours with family. Back to your idea you still can share our knowledge since we stay with our family especially friend. I don't know what really gone happen in further if I know that I will be using this 72 hours every well in my life it will be the most values and wealthy hours in my life by anything I will be doing in.

I'd spend first 24 hours or so with people I want to spend with and go to an adventure after. If I were to stay full 72 hours with people I love, I think that is going to be more suffering. After spend 24 hours, I will probably go to many places exploring alone seeing how places other than where I used to be is like.

I would stay with my loved ones in my final hours. I personally think that there is nothing more valuable than the people that you love. Yes, adventure is good but I don't think it is a good option for a last-hour activity. Though it might be sad that seeing your loved ones will be the last time that you would get to see, but it is the time where one can get the most out of it.

I would spend my last hours with my real love and do the things that I want to do and make my end to be happy and smile and I will go to somewhere that I like to make my eyes to see it and make my soul to leave on

Adventure to me is something that has to be done when we have the will to do it. Right now, I feel like our youth it is the best time to check everything we want, off of our bucket list. I would spend the last moments of my life with my loved ones. In Egypt a person takes their belongings with them to their afterlife, but what most matters is still on the face of earth, their loved ones. I also imagine that if it is the last moments of our life, we would either be unaware of the upcoming death, or too old/ hurt to do something about it. I'm not trying to see the situation in a negative point but, the last valuable moments of your life is not a time to be alone and reflect on what you did achieve and didn't achieve. It is the time to accept your identity and move on.

Why not both? I mean I wouldn't choose to travel around the world. It's only 72 hours and the flight takes like over half of your time. I would go somewhere near my location with my loved one. If I was in California, I would do some crazy stuff with my loved one. We would climb up the Hollywood sign and see the views. It's illegal to go up next to the Hollywood sign but who cares? We only got 72 hours and we got to make the most of it. So I would do crazy stuff to see awesome views around my place. Watching the views will be the first on my list. I want to see awesome views with my loved one and die watching awesome views. Even though I will be fined with $5000 from the cops but I die anyways from doing things with my love one. The reason I want to see awesome views are because I love climbing and hiking up mountains to see the beautiful views. <3

I think I would rather spend the rest of my time with my own family. Spending your last moments with your family seems like a better choice than to spend it alone exploring the world. I think that spending time with your family would be a time to slowly accept your coming fate. It'll help them cope with it as well instead of not telling them by going alone and then them finding out later.

I would stay with my loved ones! Although adventure can be fun, it seem rather pointless without my loved ones. With my family and friends, I would revisit memorable places and talk about the memories shared between them and I. Also, I think it is quite selfish for one to go travel when there is only 72 hours of your life left. My loved ones are those who are going to suffer after my death. I want to make sure they have good last memory with me.

I would stay with my loved ones. If I didn't, I would probably regret it in my last few hours. Anyways, I would totally miss my family and they would not be happy if I spent my last 3 days away from them and off playing on my own. Also, though adventuring may be fun, the guilt of leaving my family would make my mind sad and not concentrating on the fun.

I think I would want to stay with my loved ones. This is because I think the reason why some people travel is to feel a certain thrill of seeing new things and though I like that too, I think that personally, I would rather be with the people I love because they matter to me more than that feeling.

I would definitely stay with my loved ones and try to spend as much as time possible with them. The reason can be that my personality like that but actually speaking the amount of time enforces me to stay with my loved ones. 3 days is a really short time and the world is too big to explore comparing to that. So I might not be able to have all of it which makes me feel like it's not worth it. Instead if I stay around with my loved ones I can have some satisfaction for being able to stay around the people I love and who loves me back as well.
