Daily writing prompt
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
You know, I’ve seen a lot of media depict living a long time as a bad thing. Outliving everyone.
I think it depends.
As long as you’re in good health, living a long life seems best to me. I have more time to do good in the world, to meet new people, to spend time with old friends.
Also a lot of people only become successful later in life. So, you know, it’s a statistical thing.
Still at the end of the day, it’s all about what you do with whatever time you got. Kind of like the “7 Years” song by Luke Graham says.
A life is not wasted if it’s spent making other people’s lives better, whether you lived 50 years, 15 years, 5 years, or 5 months.
Though I hope everyone reading this has a long and full life.
–Natasha.
I was just thinking too, that maybe we hang on to life for as long as possible because we are afraid of what comes next, or even if anything comes next. Maybe that’s why for some people, their quality of life might be terrible, but they would rather keep living, than not living.
