Is the average lifespan of a human not long enough or too long?

Way too short. Too much to see and do in this world

Eh that’s more of a financial issue than lifespan thing

Too long according to my 93 year old grandfather
His body is failing but his mind is 100% there
He is somewhat miserable because he can no longer live alone or 100% care for himself

To someone that lost a loved one at an early age or to someone that found the love of their life later in life it’s not long enough

I dont care when I go, just dont want the prolonged death march. Take mr swiftly ans suddenly, just after the time I cant get it up anymore.

This question is impossible for me to answer because all my assumptions about how life ought to be are constrained by how long it currently is.

Would people living longer be a good thing? Well, assuming commensurate memories, there would be a lot of benefits. A lot of the deceptive rewriting of the 20th century would have been impossible if people born during the Civil War were only now starting to pass. A people with a longer memory and lifespan would create a nation with one.

But an integral part of life is its cyclical nature. The old had their day, and in their advanced age step aside to permit the new to flourish. People tend to ground themselves in the framework of their formative years as adolescents and young adults, and struggle to adjust to reality shifting beneath their feet. This problem, on its face, would only be exacerbated by doubling a person's lifespan. But would our mentalities adjust to match our new lifespans? Would this concern even matter if we lived longer? Maybe longer lives would make us more appreciative of the wisdom of those who came before and less concerned about making our own mark of improvement upon it. Maybe that's better and maybe that's worse.

A lot of words to say I don't know. But I don't know how you could, without getting to experience it.

You think the place is crowded now just imagine if everyone lived to be 150

Never enough hours in a day. Never enough days in a week. However, life span seems about right. Perfect simplicity. Here one day and gone the next, like a candle being blown out in the night.

I doubt when I am on my death bed I will say, "Damn, I should have worked harder and longer."

It is late at night as I write this. I wish it weren't so far to my beer cooler and whisky cabinet. I do envy those who have one of those dogs who will fetch them a beer. don't want a sandwich, but a cold Budweiser and a shot of Charter would hit the spot.
