to live a long life or not?

I think I'd like to stick around for as long as I'm not a burden to anyone. I don't want to bother my family members of having to take care of me when I grow too old. Of course I wouldn't mind when I take care of my parents - but I'm not sure how they would feel about it themselves :) I'd rather that they be happy than focus on me wanting them to stick around - not if they're suffering emotionally. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

If I still have a good health and no big serious health problem, I hope to live longer. So that I can see my son has its own family and see my grand child. It will be so nice. I love China

I'd like to live longer and that's what i've been praying everyday.. you know, there are so many things i'd like to accomplish and there are so many things i'd like to do that i haven't done before.. after fulfilling my dreams for myself, for my hubby and for my family, then i'm so ready to die and be with the Lord.. But it's only God, Our Creator, who knows everything.. we don't have any idea what will happen tomorrow, the next day, next week, next month or next year... so it's best if we are prepared for that day..

Well, if given the choice, of course i would like to live eternally. We can never know what happens next after we die. Who knows if it's total blackout or just a cycle. I may not want to go through that phase. I'd rather live forever. But that just won't happen so i guess i would just live for as long as i can.

hello sophie, i want to live a long life not for my own sake but for my children and my family.perhaps if i dont have kids i am ready anytime to leave. i like to see my kids growing up and seeing them with happily their own families.i still have a lot of things and goals to finish.when all is set and everthings in proper place thats the time i can leave,but for now..im not yet ready for it.

I think in the least I would like to live to age 120 or beyond, fully healthy and functional. I'm not real high on the idea of dieing at all so eternal ultimately would be great. Eternal would only be great if I could be happy and enjoy life. To be able to always give to others and help others. To continue to learn new things each day, to grow in every area. To flourish in every area of my life. It would be nice to live forever as long as I did not get grumpy and hard to live with.

i know whether we like it or not the day will come that we will all die (we just don't know when and who will die first LOL :D) and be with our Creator someday :) but for me i want to live longer and i always pray that if ever God will take me i just want (and if He allows me :D)to fulfill my dreams and accomplished even not all of my goals in life but some of it-based on my priorities-see my child graduated, have grandchildren, make my family have a super duper vacation galore something like that. i don't know what age but enough to achieve all of my goals and plans in life :D- i keep on praying that God will give me (as well as my family and love ones) strength, good health and long life ;) happy myLotting!:) Godabless!0=)
