Are you happy that life is short? Or are you sad that it is? Or both?

[Asad1ONE1]

If anything makes me the happiest... it's that life is a trial and not the "be all and end all".

I say "both" is the most logical choice because the good things (like hobbies and food and commodities and other forms of entertainment) will come to an end.

But so will the bad things (unfairness, double standards, troubles, etc.)

Happy

Sad

Both

Neither

[Effably]

More on the sad side. Imagine life if we had another 60 years of good health. The shift in priorities. The sudden notion that it is okay to stop, explore and figure out what you want.

The constant time pressure to do X or Y so we do not miss out and to not commit major mistakes - because if you fall behind life kicks back hard - is something that would almost disappear.

[Asad1ONE1]

Yes I've heard of the saying.. the unhappier the life the longer.

[Guy13]

Life is eternal and every culture has a sense that there is more than this hell hole. I am awaiting the end with the intention of living blissfully eternally.

[Asad1ONE1]

Eternal wtf?

[Asad1ONE1]

Yes next life is eternal

[Asad1ONE1]

I don't think we take our memories with us

[midnightmoon05]

I was very happy and can live like that forever… till last year. When my body tells me…I’m getting old. So…enjoy whole young. The rest will take care of itself

[NamerOfStars]

Neither, because life isn't short- it's very, very long.

[Asad1ONE1]

Actually I beg to differ lol. Life is very, very short.

[NamerOfStars]

Name me one thing you'll ever do that's longer.

[Asad1ONE1]

Bro I know what you're trying to say. But life is all we know. You can't compare it to anything else in terms of "time".

Time is relative just like everything else, but while we're here, the "relative" factor is in terms of your "status", not in terms of "time".

For example, if your status is miserable (or less happy) and full of troubles and/or with little to nothing to do, life will appear longer.

Likewise, if your status is happy (or less miserable) and full of interests and/or with things to do, life will appear shorter.

Make the choice.

[Asad1ONE1]

But overall, regardless of your "status", life is very, very short in relation to eternal life. The next life... which is FOREVER ♾️.

[Asad1ONE1]

Perception is relative (this life)

So is time (comparing this life and the forever thereafter)

[Asad1ONE1]

"Perception of time" is relative in this life I meant

[NamerOfStars]

But perception isn't reality- life may FEEL short, but that doesn't mean it IS.

[GreenLanternI0I]

I am happy that life is short, because life SUCKS!

[clampfan101]

It doesn’t feel short to me, but probably because I’m not living a happy life. Time only flies by when you don’t want it to, and the opposite seems just as true. 😕

[es20490446e]

It's just what it is.

[Asad1ONE1]

Yes both lol
