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

Last year, I wrote a quite pessimistic blog post about living for a long time.

Now I think that if we take care of ourselves and our bodies, living a long life is actually a good thing.

There’s a component of luck involved, and I’m aware of it. You can take care of yourself and still get a debilitating disease. Nevertheless, Life is a game that is worth playing ๐Ÿ™‚

        Welcome dear Astridhelps. I don’t want a long life. I just want my life to be filled with happiness. I want to live my entire life with love for everyone. I want to make many good friends who can live their lives freely by staying with me.
        I want to help people.
        There is no benefit in a very long life. A very long life means more sorrow. It is better to have a life full of satisfaction than a long life.
        I don’t like a long life that runs away behind illusion.
        What kind of life do you want to live?

        I would like a very long life as long as the quality of said life is good ๐Ÿ™‚ I don’t want to be Tithonus.

        I agree with you that focusing in having a life filled with happiness is a better objective compared to living for the longest time.
