I have the same thougths that life is too short, especially when I am in 30 years old, I felt I didn't achieve much things however I will get old, maybe don't have the power and capacity to do much things, it's not realistic if people can live a thousand year, if have, I would like to live a long life. One thousand year is enough to do everything. LOL.

Even I want to live longer but the day will come when everyone on this planet has to die so cannot wish for 1000 years. I want to live every moment of life and do not want to feel life as a burden which is only possible when I am happy. I try to be happy all the time but this world is not so favorable to all to be happy all the time.
It does not matter how many years I live but it shoul dbe with all happiness and joy

Haha, I must agree that life is short, but if life was too long we might get tired of life. I prefer if this way because it makes you try harder to reach your goal rather than letting you slack off because you have a few hundred years left. Though having a thousand years might be fun, but do you think you would enjoy life again once you've done all the things you've done? -sigh-but, then again somethings I don't mind doing over and over.

It depends on how you spend your life. If you lived your life to the fullest and enjoyed every single moment of it, then I don't think life is too short.

I think it is all a matter of perspective. Time is subjective, really. I think we are here on earth to learn to prioritize. It is the quality of life that is more important than the length, however. When we are in good health and happy and have enough "things" we do want to live forever.

life is too short and can be taken away from us with a blink of the eye. and we arent promise years to live or days. so we should out there and make sure we are there for our family, and those who matter the most.
because one day we might not wake up ever again on earth.

If I could have the body I had at thirty for the length of a 1000 year life it might be worth it. But when I think back to a thousand years ago maybe not things have really changed.

I think if we would live that much we will lose sight if what it is important, when you have a lot of something you tend to get careless about how you spend that something.
Yes I think life is too short but I'm not so sure I would want it other way. What about children ? We need fresh minds in our world, where would they fit if we would live 1000 years, we are too many on this planet right now.
The numbers looks like this 350 k - births and 150 k - deaths every day,that's around 200 k plus every day as an average, I thing the Earth will become very crowded very soon and many of us will start wishing life would be shorter.

No
But eventually this life here on earth is not yet the LIFE. it is the simulation of the life that is yet to come.... one's life is everlasting!
So the life here on earth is the determinant of the life that is yet to come whether you spent your real life.....

I often think life is too short, but then whenever such thought comes, I cease the opportunity to remind myself of what I should and want to do in life and try go for them as much as I could. Because the fact of the matter is, we are just human beings and it is not in our absolute power to prolong our own lives, but if we know in our hearts what we want to do and what we should do in this life, at least we can do something about that. :)

Life is too short and i agree with you.When someone like you wants to do so many activities time flies and we feel life is too short.When one is occupied and has varied interests time is too short.The question before us is how do we allot time to various activities so that we achieve most of what we have set out for.The best we can do is to maintain good health and divide our time among various activities so we can achieve what we have targeted for.
