Live to be 100 and fade out or Die young and Satisfied

Live till 100 definitly, I mean longevity of your life gives you the time to complete everything youve wanted to do in life in your own time and more possably, without feeling rushed etc, thats just my 2cents though

Well they would only know that from past experience. Risk consists of not knowing the outcome, if everyone new the outcome of everything, then what rewards would exist for anyone?

It's about stupid as me saying, ''Oh I wish I new last nights lotto numbers, I would be a lot richer today!'' DAFT!

I think you need to re- read what I posted, as that makes no sense whatsoever. Who said anything about hindsight?

A lot of candidates for the Darwin Award here today.

Die young and leave a good looking corpse. Wehey!

At 25 I seem to be getting better looking with age, I can only imagine how good I'll look when I'm 100

As long as I'm healthly I'd like to live as long as possible. I've seen people in their 60s suffering from dementia etc and basically being as independent as a baby so that's no life as far I can see. A lot of elderly related illness render life pretty pointless if I'm honest. What's the point of being alive if you can't even remember your own name?

Dying satisfied makes it sound like there's a FB list somewhere that you have to have done before you're "satisfied". No one dies satisfied I think: we all did things which we wish we hadn't. If you define satisfaction as doing the "list" how many are going to die satisfied? Have you sailed singlehandedly from the Canaries to the Caribbean? Have you founded a company that employs thousands? Have your inventions changed lives or have your words changed lives for the better? What's satisfaction? Cue the Rolling Stones.

+1

All those that want to leave this existence in some glorious fireball, what about all of those people that rely and need you. That need might be financial, emotional, companionship, love, whatever, or have you just lived this vainglorious life alone?

A number of people have said above that the two are not mutually exclusive. Edmund Hillary lived to 88; de Valera was 93. Living a life that is full, stimulating and courageous does not also have to be short.

Fleeting? It's been around since the mid 60s:

As someone who is over 70 very active, very satisfied, heathly, fit and enjoying all kinds of activities, I think the OP has a very restricted view of the choices in life. You can die alone, lonely and unsatisfied at a young age or you can live life to the full everyday and still live to a ripe old age. I know people in their thirties who live life carefully and boringly and others who are retired and live very active lives.

What was the question again?

Im already worried about thought of ageing and I'm not even 19...as odd as that is...but your post made me really happy ,and I hope I'm living a life like yours at 70!

Must say kowloon, although just as skeletal as ol' rubber lips, this guy really can move - including an out-of-body-experience-shimmy.

Wasted opportunity to use the "Poll" option really this whole thread is

Short and satisfied. People say life is short, it ain't, it's long and often boring.

No need to worry YET. You're not fully grown. After approx 21 your body starts to age and decay though.
