Is life long enough?

[lightbulb27]

Do you think life, on average 70-100yrs... is long enough? Would you want more, healthy time?

Seems to me life changes every 5-10 years, but there's a lot of repetition too. There's always something to learn, but at some point, ya just want to relax.

Would you want more time, or just make the best of the allocated time humans have.

yes, it's long enough

no, I'd want more time

Because i know it is possible to cure aging. - Id want to experience how it is, living thousands of years.
also it brings a whole different perspective to what it means to be alive.
with our little short lives as it is now, there is hardly enough time to do everything, id need at least 500 years for that.

that people get more tired with aging is usually why they just want to relax. but you can cure aging including resetting the biological age to be that of age 25. imagine that energy level as a constant. whole different game.

That's hard to say. I think it took me 40 to 50 years. Just to find my place.

I try not to look at it as length of time. I try to look at it as every day of breathe God gives me is another day I have to touch someone's life, to help them. I look at it as it doesn't matter whether I live another day or another 100 years. I be here as long as God deems it so and not 1 second more... of course if I have my druthers I'd want to live 100 years more. I'm not an idiot.😂

[lightbulb27]

a great perspective!

Yes it is long enough. After the age of 70 you experience nothing but health issues. By 90 most people are bedridden. Why would you want to live like that for longer?

[Apple1996]

Its already too long. I hope that death comes sooner then 70 for me. I've lived long enough ☠️

I am just getting to the point where i am in a pretty good place. I will be dead before I know it.

[lightbulb27]

enjoy the good times while they roll... as the bible says..."preparing for the day of slaughter".

[exitseven]

damn. that's cold.

Jesus knew how to smack people in the head with words...

Life is far too short, especially if you are enjoying it.

[DJB72]

Given how the world is going recently, why would anyone sane want additional time here?

Certainly I only know atheists who want longer lives here, probably because they lack a vision beyond this life. If you keep an eternal perspective, you'll want out even if you're enjoying life.

[Constatine]

A bit longer is long enough. I don"t need to be 390 years old... but i think some time extra can hurt.. 🤣😂

[Juxtapose]

Are you kidding? I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than eternity. Non-existence isn't something I want unless my life becomes torturous.

[AngryCarl2]

I think if your quality of life is good you always want more. For others death comes as relief from pain and debility. True story.

[Simslover92]

Definitely not long enough.

[Shanigal313]

I work in a Hospital and a Retirment home in the past. Most people over the age of 80 have constant health issues and bedridden. Most have lost all control of their bladder…if you lived longer than 90-100 you would be nothing but miserable and loosing control of your body. Not worth it.

[Simslover92]

Well I'm just assuming that you are in good health after age 80 and onward. There are some not many but some that live long and healthy lives into their 100s.

[lightbulb27]

yes people can be frail and failing at those ages, good of you to help, need more of you... a bunch of us are heading in that direction.
As well, I see people 70+ in incredible condition and 80 or 90 and high functioning. It may be genetics but also... making the changes necessary to stay healthy.
My question is assuming we could live life longer in good health.
