What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
I think at some point one reaches a point where they have enjoyed something and do not want more. I get the feeling living a very long life might not be as glamorous as it seems.
The only reason I would want a long life is the uncertainty around death. When we enter this earth we are promised that someday we will surely leave it. The how and the when is where the mind boggle begins. For me, the anxiety around death stems from not knowing when I will go and once I do, what happens?
I guess if I knew I’d have a level of peace when it comes to the topic of death. Going back to the topic, a long life only sounds good if your loved ones also have one as well as your body never aging. If I had eternity alone, I’d be forever miserable seeing those I love and care about leave me and knowing I’m nowhere closer to joining them.
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, including life itself. The only thing we can do is enjoy each day and appreciate every breath we are blessed to take.
