Do u think life is too short???

Hi Janejaa, This has been the reason for some deep thinking for me also... Actually we are running too short of time because of all that we would like to have done, and accomplished in our life time. If we could do with less sleep we will still come into a shortage of time, just like when we earn more money - we start spending more, so we keep in the race to go and earn more, because we can't tell that we have enough. It is our human nature and we do not remember our previous life times, so we keep feeling we haven't been able to accomplish all we wish in this life time...

Life is only to short if you allow it to be. If you take in every minutue and make the best of every thing life doesn't have to be too short. Being mad makes life short, being negitive makes life short, not stopping to take a breath of fresh air or stopping to smell the roses makes life short. You really can be every thing you want to be, acheive all your goals, have all your dreams come true, you just have to put your mind to it. Take me for example: I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter, a big house, nice cars, and a fantastick job. Although my house isn't my dream house, I have one and thats all I needed. My job isn't the dream job I have always wanted, but it pays well and allows me to have many things. The perks are great and I have made really good friends because of it. So my most importaint goals have been acheived just in a different way. I am happy with the way things have been this far because of what I HAVE aclompished I don't feel like life is too short. I would miss the people I would leave behind but they would be left with knowing my thouhgts... live life to the fullest ...dont take no for an answer (you CAN do it) ... litteraly stop and smell the roses!

If i think about life i agree with you it's too short.I mean you see this when you're getting older people die and people come.When you finished highschool time is going really really fast. So i do everything to achieve what i want in life so i can die peacefully.

Hello dear janejaa. I agree with you that life is too short for us to reach every goal we set. Therefore, I think that there is need for us to be more positive towards our life without letting negative thoughts and ideas occupy our mind so that we can enjoy a better life since it is so short. Thanks for your eight-month-old discussion about life.

No, life may look too short but is never too short. We learn so much in our life and we do so much in our life. If we call it short no one can finish so much in that "short" span of life. Achieving goals is only a part of life, it is not the peak.

Well janejaa, life is considered short because people tend to have a lot of goals in their life. If you have a few goals you are dedicated to, you're bound to achieve them. But having too much goals could cause people to give up on all of them, which is pretty much just straight out bad.

Great discussion topic, Janejaa! For me, I think that life is as long as it needs to be - the length is the beauty of it. Sometimes we won't be able to reach our goals, and often our loved ones will be taken from us etc. Life is all about the journey, and not necessarily the climax. This is why we need to make the most of it, and not take our opportunities for granted. That's how I feel anyway, I hope that all your philosophising gets you to a good place =D

yes!! .. having a really busy life really makes our life feels so short .. If you have so much free time in your day i dont think life would be short for you... but if you are happy with your life and have many good friends and you are in a good relationship with your family life will feel short .. sometimes you fear the fact that life is too short and you are going to loss some of the people you love without spending enough time with them..
