We often read about how to extend our lives but sometimes I wonder whether we're better off living in the moment as we don't know when our flame will extinguish conversing


Thoughts? conversing

I'm kind of hoping / expecting both ... I;ve had some excellent role models of men and women who lived well and well into the high numbers!

Even now as I look across the street I see my neighbour a tall upright and unbowed by age gent who's closer to 96 than 95 backing the trailer into his drive after taking it filled with garden waste to the green tip!



cheers an occasional Guinness helps too :-)

Concetrate for an entire moment you must be joking, the world has ADHD. I bet even now you feel like looking away from the screen but here's a quick tip - don't look away, and that is how you read.

At the moment I would definitely say live better, but I am sure if I were 80, I would go for the live longer option laugh

I honestly do not think I would to prolong my life when the quality of life is gone.


But then, you see people fighting for life no matter how desperate their situation is.

So maybe quality is relative to circumstances too dunno

Having to watch my father's mind deteriorate over the last few years as he reached and now passed the magic 100 years, there is no way I want to live that long.

I'd have to choose quality over quantity.

Growing old can be a drag.

I don't want to be around too long....laugh

Bless his soul.


Various readings, internet fodder and the circumstances of a young acquaintance whose life expectancy is apparently shortened due to their illness/medications prompted my posting this poll conversing

I think circumstances change all the time and very quickly, so quality of life seems the best option to me, but if coffee was ever banned then I would wish for a shorter life.

You do realise that one ancient Greek year is equivalent to 20 modern years, meaning that Methuselah died before he was 50professor

Google and find out,the calculation of 969 Mathuselah lived on,is not based in the equivalent
of the ancient Greek years,but the current modern years.
