How long do you want to live?

  • How long do you want to live? Is the average human lifespan enough for you? Perhaps too long?

    Personally, I would like to live either forever, or a very very very long time. I'd love to watch humanity progress(assuming we don't kill ourselves), and experience all the new technology and stuff.

  • i'd want to live until about a hundred-fifty or so, just long enough to know my great grand-children (assuming my children then don't choose to be celibate).
    the average human lifespan is about seventy, right? it's long enough, i think, to experience most things, but i think it's too short (seeing as i want to live an extra eighty years).

    Depends if I find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. If I find someone, I'd want to grow old with them because I think old couples are cute. If not, I really don't like getting older since I value my youth too much and am too vain to deal with the pain of growing old alone! I'd consider it an accomplishment to make it past 30.

  • I said this before: I want to die in my thirties of forties. I think people live too long these days.

    I often feel like there's no point to live very long if I never end up meeting people I truly enjoy and who care for me the same as I care for them. I know nearly all of the people in my life right now aren't long term relations and that even if I don't think that highly of them I probably think more highly of them than they do of me and idk IT BOTHERS ME DEEP DOWN I GUESS. And I just have always thought it would be pointless to go on if I never end up having a true relation with someone meaning both with friendships and romantic relationships.

  • Well it depends really if I find someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with and who wants to do the same with me. If I am lucky enough to find one then I'd want to live as long as they do so that we could spend as much time together as possible. If I don't then honestly I'd wish that I could die as soon as possible. Like it was said above I don't see any point in living a life where I don't have any close relations.

    I want to live long enough to see the world my kids are going to be living when they are grown and everything. 70-80 is good I think.

    I want to live as long as my fiance. I'd like that to be at least into the 80's.

    Just as long as I can do something with my life, I'm more than happy to live it up towards 50 years. I really don't like what happens to people when they do grow old.

    If for some reason I feel like my life isn't worth living anymore, I could go ahead & end it right here, right now. I consider my life as a disposable one.

  • I want to live until either I'm unable to do things on my own or until I've done everything I feel like doing with my life. It will probably end up as the former.

    I dunno how long I want to live. Because I know a year is really a long while. I mean, it feels like it has been an eternity since I've been born. And comparing this eternity to what's left until 80s, I just can't tell how long life is.

    I also can't tell if, soon before my death, I'll want to live longer. I may want to live up to the 80s, but at 79, I'd maybe say myself I want to live up to 90, and then to 100, and longer and longer! Because I'm scared of death, of course. I may say Immortality isn't a good thing for humanity, but I'd probably decide by myself to become Immortal should I be given this opportunity!

  • I only want to live until my forties. I just don't like the idea of growing old and living the rest of my days in a nursing home or something like that. Sounds boring o.o

    But you never know, one day I might view growing old differently.

  • Right now I don't care how long I live for. It's not like I want to die tomorrow but if I found out I was going to it wouldn't bother me same if I found out I was going to live for another 100 years. Although I can see this changing drastically if I have kids.

    Although being a wise old man who chills out in a shrine on top of a mountain and people venture up to ask you questions would be awesome. I want to be like a wizard! Man that'd be badass. But if I can't do that then peeing in public and yelling at teenagers would suffice as a time killer in my old age.

  • Depends on whether I find work or not. If so, I want to live long enough to retire at least. But before my body deteriorates so that I can't live independently anymore.

    If not, then I want my death to come before I end up living on the streets. Which could be as early as a few months :/ Life without any means to support yourself seems like a horrifying proposition.

  • I want to live to at least 200 years, assuming the ageing process could be slowed accordingly. The idea of being attached to such a short life - where you can realistically expect a maximum of 90 or so years... it's just not good enough. I think by 200 I'd be well and truly sick of it all though, so that might do me. That said, if I were offered immortality I would not say no!

    At least over 100. I'm kinda goal-driven, and I'd find it such a great thing if I could reach 100, so... at least I'd be able to say that I reached an age not everyone does.

    I dunno, I really don't want to die at all. I want to live as long as I can, and enjoy things at any age. If I grow old, I grow old, it happens.
