the quality is more important.what's the use of living a long life when it is full of bad experiences? a good life doesn't necessarily mean a long life.it means living out every day as you want it to be and filling it with love and passion.a life with great quality is living with appreciation of all the good things that happened in your life and learning lessons from your mistakes.

what is important is how you have lived life.it doesn't matter if you been living for long,long,long time.a short life full of happy memories is much better than a long life full of frustrations and what-ifs.a life doesn't have to be long for it to be worth it.

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!!

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

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.

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

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.
