How short is short? Since it's winter I stay here. If not or a bit better I would leave to Hungary to stay at my house over there. If I had a lot of money I would leave and go to Africa to be with my husband. I find it hard to say a lot of people do not care about their life. I don't share your opinion. They do care but life is forcing us in many ways to do things we don't like. Society does, we need to work, to feed our children/families, pay taxes and taxes over taxes and we struggle to stay alive. Seems the whole world is about how to make money to survive. To many there is less time to enjoy, relax. There is no real freedom at all. I think that is also the reason why so many homeless people over here love to be homeless. They are free, our city does give them a few hundreds of euro each month to pay for shelter, food etc.. no rent, no taxes, no responsibilities...

Hi wakeupkitty, At least I'll appreciate you have realised things about life from the core of your heart. Yes we cant ignore life and its ironies of reality. We want to survive. So we are to work. If we dont work, we will be at stake. Yes life is forcing us to move ahead as if we dont have any choice as our own. We are the loyal slaves of our life. And from time immemorial we have been doing this slavery and this slavery does not seem that it will end as long as the life is alive.
The other aspect of life is that its shortlivedness. At least it is enough to destroy our attachment to life, destroy the arrogance of wealth and status, destroy our irresponsibilities to the people, our fellows and neighbours. But the realisation of short livednesses are not coming from the core of our hearty conciousness and so we are not being as the perfect human as is supposed to be. Stay well.

Life is short. But after that we should ask ourselves whether we done a lot in our lifes. Because i think we should be useful for others.

Hiya tedifa,
Would try to live it the best way I could. Kind of hard to say really as I always take one day at a time really so although I do think about life being short sometimes I try to make the best out of it during that time.

Life is no doubt short if one is happy, free from diseases, but for a sick, unhappy person it is not short, it becomes a burden lol.
Since we have to be alive for the period god has sent us, we have to be here..

I agree there are so many individuals who don't care about their life or others.It is sad to see this because their are so many individuals who are fighting for their life and who want to live it. If I found out that my life was to end shortly because of some illness I would spend my time with my family and friends.

life is already short i guess. Now people are living only up to 60 or 80 mostly. So i feel its short. In the olden days people were more healthier and used to live for more than 100 years ,that was very common for them .But now we can hardly find such people.
Yes many don't care about life, i too cant understand how can they do so with their own life. i pity them.

If at all life would be very short, then I am sure people would be in peace and love each other and help each other. They would all take care of each other so well that they would not want to lose anyone.
this worls would have been the paradise on earth sort of a thing and people would be suffering less and they would all be all happy and peaceful in their lives.

Hi tedifa!
This thing would also come to my mind for sometime. I would say that what will I do for a long life full of misery? I would rather have a short one full of happiness. Happiness for me is being able to make other people happy by helping them whenever possible.

Of course, life itself is so short. We never know until when our life is on this earth. Now, that I am still alive. I make sure that I always show my love to all my loved ones. I will do good deeds. I will also secure the future of my brothers if I have still the time for I love them. So that when I'm gone they will look after our parents.
