One hasn’t lived a life if that life wasn’t meaningful. In context to choosing between long but uneventful life and short but momentous one, it also applies to when people say that they want to live to be a hundred years old. Don’t see the point in living to be a hundred years old if all you have done is the same boring routine everyday of your life. I’d rather live to be fifty years old but have a fun and eventful life filled with adventures and discoveries than living to a hundred and just staying home all day.
I believe in adding life to years rather than years to life. Furthermore, a long and average life is pointless. That life would get extremely ring doing the same exact boring routine every single day. Doing the same thing over and over again every single day would frustrate me and would feel depressed. Would end up regretting choosing a long and boring life over a short but memorable one because it is more sensational to have lived and lost then have never lived at all.
I’d rather live a life that is more unpredictable and exciting where can experience new things even though knowing that it will have a negative effect on me. Although I know that choosing a short but glorified life will have detrimental outcome, am willing to accept the adverse consequence it it means that my life had a meaning, knowing that will be remembered and I will have a long life through the memories of the people than physically have a long life. This also ties into the idea Of if there isn’t a Witness to see something happen then did it actually happen.
If live a long life but no one remembers me or recognizes me during and after my life, I don’t think really even lived a life. I believe in living a life that is memorable and am willing to accept the unfavorable aftermaths of y decision. If you were an ancient Greek athlete, would you have desired to compete in the Games?
