Is life to short?

We had an interesting discussion about it yesterday and whilst I think it is a good duration around 100 years, my mother thought it was too short as she likes to learn alot and to be a student, whats your view?

You have no influence over your life's duration so whether you think its too short or not isn't significant really

No. I meant in general we live to about 100 years.

You're a bit over optimistic there.

In the UK it's 79 for men and 82 for women.

If you're lucky..

If you die young yes, but I read an interview with someone who was well over 100 and they just wanted to die seen as they'd outlived all their friends and family and were physically incapable of doing anything.

If we could live far longer and keep our young agile bodies for much longer it would be a different story.

But yes life is short so cram as much in as you can, don't get old and look back wishing you'd done things

The figures are statistical not really luck, 79 & 82 are not definitive end ages, people live beyond these ages.

Yes. I can influence it to an extent by living a healthy life but there are many factors outside my control.

For some its too short for others it's plenty.

Try to pack as much into life as you can,none of us get out of it alive.

Life is short but its no excuse for doing things just for the sake of it or regretting it later life isn't that short.

While chatting with my Dad and a friend of his , the both said they struggled with the changes happening in the last ten years or so . They are both 85 , and have all their mental and physical faculties .

The main things they struggle with are things like technology , the way we police the country , trans and pride etc.... , general things in society like kids being treated like little princes and princesses while they play up in cafes etc...... And the upshot was that they both felt they felt the way they do because they are getting too old for all this now .

So maybe they’re right . I feel like they do sometimes and I’m only 57 !

I certainly don’t think we need to live longer because with the way things change it’s hard to keep up with it all .

Life is life, am OK with the years I've spent upto now, if I depart now that's fine by me and if I have a few more years then great but not sure I want to be around till 100.

I do often wonder if all the advances in medicine are necessarily a good thing, especially when you look at the possibility of living with dementia.

I think I'd prefer not to go through that, or rather, put my children through me living with dementia.

At some stage I believe we shouldn't always fight natural selection.

If you die with having nothing on your to do list then no it's not too short it's just right,if you die with things still to experience then life was to short and if you're 100 and no good memories and wisdom you've wasted it

Ever was it thus.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

- Socrates (469-399BC)

Mrs Jetsons great grandma departed through the exit door 3 weeks gone

She was 99 years old.

Took the whole family 3 days to work out what should be left OUT of the service.

She put that much into her life it was almost impossible to recap on it all.

Life isn't too short, but when you get to 50 you realise you probably only have about 20 years of usefulness and time to do the things you want to do.

The bigger problem is when you're in your 50's, 20 years doesn't seem very long.

I didn't say that, did I?

I've nearly died more than once, I've made my peace with my own demise, therefore I don't find threads like this, or the concept of death sad or depressing.

In fact, it's the opposite- the beauty of life is in part due to the fact that it's temporary.

Things that last forever have the time to become boring.
