For me it is. i don't think that living 80 years is long enough. specially if you are not in good health on that age. i wish that our life is longer so that we can experience many good things in life. but if things will go from bad to worse i do not want to live that long though, but i still want to reach 80 at least.
i got surprised on news about old folks on their 80's. with very muscular body of 20 year old and their face seems like they are 60 or younger. and yet they are in their 80's already. so i get to learn that if we take good care of ourselves that we can enjoy good health and strong body even in old age. and that is what i want to accomplish or be like when i get old. but i have to start now to be physically fit. it will not be easy adjustment as i am generally not an athletic type of person.

Way too short! I will never do every single thing I want to do or see everything I want to see. But I'm going to try!!!

yes it is, because i cannot do all my works i a day, so if the life is like a day, it means that it is too short to do all you want to.
but for you, it would be good to become a Muslim, because they have an idea that life will not be ended by dying in this world ;)

Life is definitely too short for me. There are so many things things that I want to do in life. So many things to learn, to see. I wouldn't like to suffer through old age though. And what you said about some old people still being strong is very true. They really treat their bodies great and are active. And that's the way it's meant to be. I would really want to live a longer healthier life. And it may be quite possible for me if I keep up my lifestyle. I believe that people really begin to age badly when they accept it. You are as young as you think you are.

For me yes life is too short, becuase you did not know how long you been stayed here in the world, God knows how long you stayed here..... And for me i will alive the all people be ready in everyday life, because God knows how long or short you stayed here in the world. For me 80 years old was long life, its very lucky because at the age 80 was still alive. I wish that i will live and have a long life like that age.

Life is too short if you abuse your and not taking care of it. Lot's of vices can shorten our life such as smoking, eating junk foods or anything not healthy. Our health defend much on us on what we take in and how we manage to live a healthy living. It really depends on us..But life must be too short if we encounter accident..

Hi hotsummer, I guess we all want to live long lives, especially if we are healthy and still able to enjoy life. I feel that quality of life is as important as quantity, so when one is in pain and unhappy it would be nice to make the transition to the next plane of existence where we would be free from a worn out body and given a new spiritual one.I am however not in any hurry to leave here yet as I am still healthy. I will be 70 in a little over three weeks but I feel great. My wife and I went dancing this past Saturday night and danced until until 2 AM. Now we don't do this often, maybe six or seven times a year but the point is we still enjoy it. Of course, none of us has any idea how long we will be here but if I stay healthy I hope it will be a long time. Blessings.

Hey,
Well I think that life is too short for most people, but for me I am still quite young so I haven't really experienced life to the fullest just yet. But yea I think that for me, my life has been quite short so far. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Hi Hotsummer,
Times goes by very fast,and surely I would like to live longer if any chance. However it depends on the body situation at the old age. When people reach 60, the body mechanism will reduce gradually. If I can not take care of myself at that time, I would like to live any more as it will give burden to others.
