What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

View all responses

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.
