Longevity Or Life's Content

[Remy Danton]

A simple question. What's more important to you? how much happiness you experience no matter how short lived? The length of your life? You can either choose:

A) 100 years of sadness and lack of fulfillment.

B) 10 years of happiness and complete fulfillment.

Would you risk your life to be a jubilant person? I think this question is relevant to everyone.

Ten years of fulfillment & I would die a happy man. The majority of people spend their entire lives working, grinding, and dreaming and don't even get two years of personal satisfaction and happiness, much less ten. I'd be more than content.

If I could have 10 years of being extremely productive and improving the life and socioeconomic conditions of myself and by people to the fullest extent, then I would definitely take that over extending my own life, especially if it is non-productive, non-progressive, and non-fulfilling. That's an easy decision for me. I'm content with the idea of death one day, but I am not content with sitting around and not contributing to the salvation and pride of my people.

What's the point of living a THOUSAND years and you were dead for every second of it.

I'll take the 10 years truly being alive, then give me what's promised to every man who's ever walked this earth

I'd rather live in the space between Strahan's teeth

I wouldn't mind living a short legendary life

I believe in a afterlife and when I die, I believe I'll just live in a everlasting dream of happiness

 

[The 2020 New Member]

give me the 100. i'd be a legend after i die if i did that.

 

[Lana Kane]

will my anti depressants work during the 100 years? do i age?
if its yes for the first q and no for the second. I'll go with that.

 

[Vandelay]

Define lack of fulfillment...because i dont know what kind of real happiness i could have if i died at age 10.

Make it 30 and u got a deal.

 

[Remote]

Candidly, I don't accept the choices.

10 years of extreme bliss or 100 years of misery are unrealistic extremes and they go completely against the cycle of ups and downs that encompass the essence of life.

I know you set up the questions as one or the other, but I just don't like being pigeon-holed into unrealistic scenarios.

I suspect the inner Walter White in some of you would choose the 10 years.
The inner William Faulkner in some of you would choose the 100 years.

I choose neither.

longevity without wealth or happiness is just prolonged misery
