What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

View all responses

I think we all have a purpose. If we are lucky enough to identify that purpose, I think it would be safe to say that our life should be as long as it takes to complete our purpose. Nearing 70, I believe I may have completed my purpose, but he fact that I am still here would indicate that it is not so.

What I am trying to say is, I don’t think the concept of living a very long life can be measured in years. I have seen people under 40 who have lived life well and thoroughly, and people over 80 who do not seem to have lived at all.

Find purpose, find life. Ignore the concept of living a “long” life.
