What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
Most people or at least I think most, would if asked respond, "Of course, I want to live a long life."
However, often the phrase "want to live a long life" is associated with "a fulfilled life; "a life filled with prosperity; "a life not consumed by medical and health issues in our later years." The list of factors that go along with a "very long life" can and in many ways are exceedingly varied.
Most of us would want to live a very long life to see our children and children grow up. For many in their "elder years," they can be forgotten or deemed not as useful or successful as perhaps earlier in life.
But, those who have gone before us and had lived a life; a long life have seen the world change in immeasurable ways.
The wisdom and insight gained over 60, 70, 80, or even 90 years is incalculable. If we can do it and live the life we want to live at 80 or 90 why not! If we can have the quality of life we desire and live life to its fullest possible outcome - why not.?
We all have an "end date" at some point. However, life is meant to be lived and lived to its fullest and richest extent possible.
In my case, I think it's going to take a long life to live it to its fullest and richest extent.
