A long life or a good life?  

If I have to choose between the two, I would rather have a quality life than a long life full of strife, sorrow, and pain. I would that my life would be used to help others and bring them to the knowledge of the Almighty God. But if God be willing, I would want to have a quality life pleasing to the Lord and a long life to see how good God is.

I would prefer to have a good quality life any day taking care of those that I love, and knowing that I have done many good thing's in this world and will be remembered for them then to have a long and lonely life.

Quality. As screwed up as I am at 49, why would I want to live to be 80-90 or older?

At first i hoped to live long but the way the events are going in this world i no longer wish to live long to see those wars raged dreadful diseases consuming people so all i wish is a short happy life where i can enjoy all the aspects of long as for ur question i no longer wish to live too long.....

Hi Johanna

I am sure many people would opt for happier life . . . no one wants to live long to see any more of this world, a happy and content life is what we all need . . . i wonder if anyone would respond in this discussion saying they want a long life.

have a nice day Johanna

Quality,of course.But I believe that quality comes with practicing.We can't have a quality life if don't know how to live.There is an ordinary life of an ordinary person.Most of us live this type of life.We make our own mistakes and then we learn from them.A quality life requires to learn from the mistakes of others or even don't make any mistakes at all.

Definently a quality life, but i hope that i will be in the middle . I`m trying to eat 100% natural, i`m not a smoker , i`m doing some little sport, but i do a lot of things that will affect my health . But we must try to find an equilibrum between thouse two , that are so important . We can pass from one to another so easily, we even can`t see the passiong so fast.. We`ll just wake up and look back and then we`ll see that we made that, and that, and that made me what i`m now .

By all means, I prefer a good quality of life than a long one. If life has a very poor quality, it can be terrible to go on and on.
Fortunatly, I have been blessed by a very good life, in spite of some great sorrows that are part of living.
I do wish everyone had the kind of life I have had and I´m having. Take care

Both. I will live long and well.

Hey,

To tell you the truth, I would rather choose to have a good life rather than a long life. I personally think that their would be no point in actually living a long life, if you are just miserable. No point whatsoever. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
