How long you want to live? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life5 months ago

Most of us want to stay young and healthy for as long as we live. We even rarely entertained the thoughts of seeing ourselves old and dying. We all want to live forever.

As for me, I want to live for 100 more years. Because there's so many things that I want to do. So many places I would like to see and most of all I want to spend more time with my family.

How about you, would you like to live longer? If you do, for how many years and why?

Have a great day everyone!

Practically speaking,few people can live up to 100.

this question is meaningless.

anyone wants to live longer,but to some degree,it depends on something else.

Yeah, there might be a real good chance that people can live up to 100 years, but there's also lot of chances that people can't reach 100 years. What I am really trying to asked is peoples preferences on how long they want to live, on how long they think that's enough for them to be satisfied living in this life, on how long they can say it's enough,I want to rest and be happy for eternity.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Have a great day!

I would like to live for 200 years..LOL..
It is not possible i know. Just for fun.
I would like to live as long as i am active. Because we cannot enjoy this world by lying on the bed isn't it.

Have a great day.


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

200 years, it's gonna be long time. Definitely you would be able to do everything that you want. Yeah, lying on bed would get us nowhere. There's more to life than just sleeping, eating and working. And it's for us to find and of course to have fun.

Thanks for sharing with us

Have a great day!


myLot reputation of 90/100. dbutheking (319)   ranked 1,652 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Also, i said 200 years just for fun.
I love to live 200 years only if all my friends will be alive for 200 years. I don't want to lose my friends, my relatives, my wife everyone..

I wanted to live as long as how long God wants me to. but in my own preference i would consider around 80-90 years of age so i can still see my grandchildren and take care of them.


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

That's simple yet admirable thought. We all want to see our family grow and witness their success and helped them lead to the path of fulfillment and happiness.

Have a great day!

Well, even would like to live for 100 years.But then I would like to die heaalthy and strong and not with a weak body and mind.As a young boy, I never wanted to grow up seeing all the violence and hatred grown up shows, but then I do not have elixir of life.A 100 years would be nice figure to reach and a rare one too.


myLot reputation of 90/100. dbutheking (319)   ranked 1,652 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Hi,
yes, every one want to die healthy. I don't want to die as a very weak. I would like to die suddenly as soon as i get weaker.

I don't want to live for 100 years because I see some people being neglected when reaching even in the 70's or 80's. No one cares for them, some of them begs in the streets having abandoned by their families and children. Some of them luckily find shelter homes to be taken cared of by nurses and other people. My friend and I have encountered an old woman in her 70's being accompanied by a stranger. We talked to the woman and gave her food. She was resetful of her children who went abroad but neglected her. How pitiful!:(. She had a hunchback. We brought her to the police station together with two jollibee personnels because the social welfare shelter home was already closed at that time. She stayed there for one night. Fortunately, the next day, a member of her church looked for her and found her there and brought her home.
I think how we live our life on earth is more important than the longetivity of our life. Many people wish for a long life but don't live their lives to the fullest and were trapped in different vices that shorten their life span. What does it profit me if I want a long life but don't care of living a good and well-lived life? I think living a legacy is what matters most in life. What will my loved ones tell me when I die?


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, that's real sad reality nowadays. So many people left abandoned by their family and neglected by the society. Sometimes we often thought that life is unfair for them. But everything has a reasons and we simply didn't know.

Yeah, I agree with you. It's not the the number of years would matter, it's how you used and spend those years. But if one choose to live longer simply because he/she want to help and continue to bring kindness and love to everyone despite of the rampant cruelty of this world, then I think he/she deserve to live forever. This world needs people who are willing to give their self for the sake of humanity.

I would rather witness and feel the pain of other people for them to know that they're not alone. And that there's still someone who cares and love them no matter what.

Thanks again my friend for sharing with us

Have a great day!


myLot reputation of 93/100. levite (477)   ranked 8,860 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, I agree with you. If the person who wants to live longer wants to spread and share acts of goodness and kindness for others, then that person really deserves to live a long life. Usually in the funeral, people talk about the dead person's life when he was still alive.

I think for me I would like to live to 70 but not past 72. I am soon to be 61 and my eyes are getting bad but other than that I am in bvery good health. If for some reason I can no longer drive then I do not want to live and have to pay cabs to take me to the stores etc.


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, when we get older it's hard to accept things that we couldn't able to do like it was before. But I think as long as we breath we still have a reason to live and opportunity to do things that matter in our life. My mom always told me to never give up and and always find the reasons for living.

Thanks for sharing with us

Have a great day!

It is difficult on people who never married ot had childern. All of a sudden they have no family and sit at home alone relying on a cab to get places or perhaps the kindness of neighbors.

I don't really think about age, but more about quality of life. I'd rather live a shorter life but be healthy and sharp to the end than live on without being aware of my surroundings. Of course, there's no reason you can't be healthy, sharp, and live to an advanced age! That's the total package.


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, still what matter is the quality of life that we have not the time that we could have. As much as possible we avoid to experienced pain and suffering in this life. Who wouldn't like the easy way round?

We all have the freedom to choose the quality of life we want. There's so many ways to stay healthy in mind and body. We can choose to stay happy or sad. It's all our choice the only thing that we must not forget is to never give up for life. Never give in on time that we're being test to choose to live or die. Always LIVE FOR LIFE

It is amazing how people think differently about age, when i was in high school thinking if i lived to 50 or 60 i would be so old. but now that i am all ready past 50, I do not feel that old most of the time. and at the moment i feel that I want to live for another 50 or 60 years or more as long as i can stay active, and healthy. I would love to be around to watch my grandchildren grow, and i would also like to see my great-grandchildren start their lives, and grow.


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Yeah, we all want to continue on living, if we are quite happy with our lives. But if not, we want to end it sooner. It would be great if you'd able to watch your grandchildren grow and succeed in their life. It's wonderful to share your life experiences with them and taught them things that you'd learned.

Even if we're given a thousand years, I think it's still not enough, 'cause we love to live a life that's full of love and happiness. Since other life after death is not yet certain.

Anyways thanks for sharing with us

Have a great day!

well to say the least it is tough after a certain age... for us and for people around us... i want to be alive for as long as i am healthy .. i dont want to lie on a bed and not be able to control my bowel movements and depend on somebody else for eating and other functions...the thing is not that it is pain in the rear for me but it will be as much so for whoever is taking care of me... it is a disgrace to be alive during such a time.. i will even resort to euthanasia if that is going to be of any help.. in what i have seen in my life even the healthiest of people go bad at around eighty years. so for me it is seventy years of bliss.. but i want to enjoy those fifteen years of retirement!


myLot reputation of 98/100. careguarden (493)   ranked 1,228 out of 38,461 in life  5 months ago

Me either, I don't want to live, if only I became dependent to my love ones and family. I don't like to waste their time looking after me. I would rather take care of them. That's why If, I'd given a chance to live for a longer time, I would only live in one condition, that my mind and body still working and healthy.

Anyways thanks for sharing with us
