And there’s the tale of the man who saw Death, knew you only saw Death the day you die, saw Death looked surprised, rode as far and as fast as he could to get away, fell to his death hundreds of miles from the first encounter, met Death again, asked why he had looked surprised the first time.DEATH replied, “I knew I had an appointment with you here and didn’t expect to see you so far away this morning.”.SELF-FULFILLING PROPHESIES
This was part of the plot of the movie “Big Fish” too. Guy has a vision as a child of himself dying when he’s a very old man. This leads to him doing all sorts of amazing and heroic things for the rest of his life because he knows he’s destined to live through them.
Stephen Wright once said, “The other day, my girlfriend asked me, ‘If you could know the exact time, place, and manner of your death, would you want to know?’ I said, ‘No.’ She said, ‘OK, forget it.’”

It’s a good thing he doesn’t know since he’s going to die on a toilet.

Do not complain if you are old. Most people don’t make it there at all.

If you don’t go to the envisioned death, a worse one takes its place. Ask any Cyclops.
