Should we live long to suffer more?

Lifestyle diseases (diseases of longevity or diseases of civilization) are diseases that appear to increase in frequency as countries become more industrialized and people live longer. Many mylotians ask questions why should I live, Why people die? People can put in here their opinions. I still feel we should live to the fullest measure, therefore we should maintain our body and soul in good condition, by doing proper exercises and following the advices of elders.

yes, we should live on this earth caused its already our destiny to present in this world. life being hard and suffer would depend on how is our way to manage it. i know its not easy to live on nowadays but still there is any hope to better in life and in everything. we should live to be reminder for another not to destroy our living place. we live at now to give any hope to another. we exist on this world to help another in their life. life always fully struggle neither on the previous time or in this time. we should do any struggle in our life to proove how quality our selves as human being. if there is no struggle, we would not feel any kind of delighted about what we reached out. if there is no sorrow, we would not able to feel any happiness in our life just be never give up in your life and you would able to achieve anything in your hands ;)

Sada, I am an optimist and no amount gross things would make me change my feelings about life. "We all have problems, it's just that my problem is greater than yours" - this is the common attitude towards life. But I feel that these hurdles, bleak things are but life and we have live it and live it well. Sada, my life has been full of challenges and hardships but I never did allow those to control me. On the contrary those have made me strong and confident. And now I am living life to the fullest and living for the present. Happy living.

Well, I feel that people no matter who you are, are put on this Earth to be given time to make an impact on someone, and help be an Example, raise kids, Love their God, retire, etc. and that is just the normal way of life. We are not in control of our destiny when we have things happen in our lives. God is the one I personally believe is the one controlling that destiny for us. When people get sick sometimes it is something or their own choosing or doing, but many times it is beyond their control. When someone gets Cancer, etc. even when it is hard, it is up to them on what they do with it. For many they learn to become a fighter wanting more time to live, and do things. They then ask themselves "Why Me?" We should never judge or hinder someone no matter what they are going thru. When we learn to be supportive others will be supportive as well.

Hei come on you, you are a young chick, you should live for long. I met a old acquitance of mine who is now 85, both his legs are amputated due to gangrin and he was so independent throughout his life and his son and daughter-in-law just left him alone in their house, he feels miserable to live on earth. He is not taking his medicines, not taking food on time. He was such a methodic person, I used to take leaf or two from his practices. The problems you come across, should not drive you to point of no return. YOu should feed your mind with positive thinking and without prejudice to anyone, you plan things on your own to overcome on your own. Your determination alone can help solve the problem. Others generally will not come to our rescue. They can generously shower sympathesies - some of them useful and some of them just artificial. I put the topic not to set negative thinking in the minds of persons like you. It is just a poser to get some interesting feed back. Take care, regards.

The thought may come anyone in the world in any part because that person would have undergone unending trials and tribulations in life. Sometimes, some people just cannot solve the problems they encounter and these problems spiral bound him so he is not able to get of it.

I am not a smart guy. I don't want to question the meaning of life. I know I can't get any results. It is the thing I would do when I was a kid. At that time, I thought I could find out what life is. But the more I tried, the more I got confused. Sometimes I thought I got the the correct answer, the next time I would be lost again. Like Levin in Tolstoy's novel, I could not be sure of anything. Now I think I am getting much smarter, or stupider not to play with such a question. I am eating, I am sleeping, I am suffering, I am enjoying. Doing so, I find no confusing questions in life anymore. I like being stupid if stupidity can make me happpy.

Hi ssh123, My opinion about this is that one should be alive only till he/she is independent and can look after himself...if not financially, at least physically....depening on others even to go to toilet is like living with curse.....even if my children will not mind looking after me , yet I would not want to live such a kind of life... I would like to die healthy, rather than live long and suffer.........May God bless all of us with good health.

Yes,why should we live and why people die,everyone want to know.I'm so young that I only heard some advice that given by elders.But I haven't had enough exerpirence.In my opinion,live long or short isn't important,but you should make it meaningful and helpful to others.I think this is the most important.
