life short?

Some say that "life is so short", or "live it up, because life is short." I Disagree. Life is the longest thing any of us will do. And I am confident in saying this. I would like to challenge someone to name something that we will do longer. I doubt there will be any sort of response. Any thoughts on this somewhat broad topic?

Yeah but in the sentence life is short there's nothing else. Your thought would be ok if the statement was life is not the longest thing people do. What I think is that love is short and you can realize that completely when you make a big mistake or something keeps you away from living the life the way you want. Imagine wasting 10 years on something you didn't want to do but you had and after those ten years you feel like you lost 10 years of your life. So that's why life is short there's no room for wasting years because you will never get them back.

I was just stating a fact that most people don't see. Life is the longest thing anybody will ever do. Plain and simple. Never did I bring up love.

you know, that's a good point. life IS the longest thing anyone will ever do - but that doesn't mean that it can't be too short either. some children who die definitely didn't have a long enough life, even though living is the thing they did longest with their life. wow, it's kind of confusing. haha.
