Hi mylotters!
My friend today was so devastated. They brought her 109-year-old grandmother to the hospital because she slipped on the wet floor (it's actually her pee). Her grandmother can hardly hear and see. She loves her grandmother a lot and the family really wanted to keep her alive but not until today.
I think, if I will be older, I want to live enjoyably with my family. I don't wanna live just to cause them worries and let them spend their money for the hospital bills when I get sick. When I was younger, I always wanted to live as old as I can be. It is quite amazing to hear a story about a person still living over 100 years old. But what's the worth of living when you cannot perform normally? You can no longer enjoy life because you don't see how bright the sun shines. You don't hear the laughter of your children and grandchildren.
I want to live only at the age that I am still productive and able to see the beauty of the gift of life. How about you pal? What do you think?

how old so I know where to.
My every fortune was destined.
each is written how to live.
I personally think that everyone wants to live as he wants.
important thing is to stay alive and healthy.
so I wish if you could live to 200 years.
nice day!
interesting discussion.

If I can still be healthy, or atleast functioning properly, I would like to live forever!

I do agree that an age where we consider to be productive is really the best time to live to. Granted, that can be to a different age. I think that there are many eighty and ninety year olds put some of the youngsters out there to shame. Or so it does seem a lot of the time. There are just many times where age is nothing but a number on paper.
It really does depend for each person. Who really knows what the future olds? I could start going down early, despite my best efforts, or despite myself, I could really last for a long time. Of course, I don't really know if I want to overstay my welcome all that much. Then again, we shall see as time goes on.

Age is only a number and it is not up to us to determine how long we are to stay in this world. Anyway, it is not the years in our life, but the life in our years that count. Let's just be grateful to God for the life He has given us and live each day as best as we can, to be productive, kind and caring. God bless you and grant you a peaceful, enjoyable and fulfilling life, starlight_starbright.

hi,
for me my ideal age to live in the world is 60,this age i think i could still be productive and could help to my family in the house,and aside from that i dont want to live beyond 60 because i know its hard to be older and could not move easily in the house.

Nothing is in our hands dear.Living beyond a certain age is really troublesome to the family. Everyone pray to God for their life to end without being bedridden or causing trouble to their family. "upto what age is ideal for you to live in the world" -some may tell that it is upto 60 or 75. But i feel that as long as we are healthy, we enjoy life in this world. In these days, we are seeing very dangerous diseases affecting even small children. Also, people below 30 yrs are dyeing due to these diseases.(after suffering for 5 r more years). so, nothing is in our hands,whatever God wills will happen!

Hello there! Of course it is out of our control. This is just all about choices if the choice is ours. :-) Anyway, thanks for the response. I perfectly got your point there.

That's really great when my love ones reaches that age esp my parents.
If asks about myself.
I don't know what would be my ideal age to live.
I am happy with my life, but of course,we never knew about tomorrow and we never hold our life as well.
I wish to live till I can see my kids having stable life of their own.

I want to live as old as possible. I hope I will not be a burden to my children support and did not want to spoil my children and grand children someday. That's why I will keep trying to live healthily.

Do you remember George Burns?
He sang, drank and smoked till the end. Why Am I reminding you of this?
To drive home the point that getting old does not mean suffering the indignities of aging.
While it may be true that longevity and good health might partly be due to genetics, most of it depends on lifestyle. From the time we were born to our old age, how we live largely determines how we'll age.
We all should start making healthy lifestyle choices right now. It's never too late.
Oh, as for your friend, as long as the old lady is alive, her folks have a responsibility, under the circumstance, to at least make comfortable.
That's called family and Love. That's what we signed up for when we become members of a particular family.

I don't want to live as long as I can. I think it'll be no fun getting so very old as a woman. Maybe I can live happily and healthy before I turn 75. As we get older our bones won't stay the same. Even if you have a healthy heart and others internal organs but not your bones, this is what I've read in the health articles. So my ideal number is 79, I guess.

Hi star, I am glad you are not calling my destiny...lol...I truly
believe I want to be as OLD as I can...because I have a handicap
when I get old will not mean I have given up...I am a person who
wants to be here today tomorrow and many more tomorrows..I love life
unless I am in a coma..I could still no what is going on around me which
means I could have some quality of life..
If there is a pulse and a heart beat...Its because I still want to be
here...
Now all this may be different if I become 102 but right now I am
a long way from that OLD age...so let me be.....
