GammaGlobulin Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 If you are now 50, then what will the world be like sixty years hence? Are you really sure that you wish to live that long? Also, what would you do if you found out that you were living longer than you wished to live? Let's say that you did live to be 110. Then, by then, what would you be doing? Golfing? Sailing? Mud wrestling? Sometimes I wonder why we want to live so long, even over a century. Maybe, one reason might be, like Herman Wouk, you could write another book. Other than that, what would you be doing on your 100th birthday? Teeth, as we know, are not designed to last for 100 years. Fortunately, sharks are able to replace teeth. But, we are not sharks. Everybody says they want to live forever. But...WHY? Why would you wish to live forever? Isn't about 30 years already enough time? Some guys cannot accept the state of the world. The state of the world is that we are born, and then we die I don't know why. Maybe we should NOT be born, in order that we should never die. This is probably the best option. Unfortunately, we are never consulted about our birth, whether we might want to be born into this world. And so, we are faced with this conundrum, whether we wish to live forever, or die. Life makes no sense to me. This is why my life seems so strange. Don't know about yours. Nothing makes sense...UNLESS one is living in Thailand. And, if one is living in Thailand, then, as for me, EVERYTHING makes sense. No more ennui for me, after arriving in Thailand. Same for you, doubtlessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted October 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2021 I don't want to live so long. 80 is maybe fine, I don't think 90 is fun. I think I do my best to spend all my money before my 75th birthday. That will be a lot more fun than trying to save for my 80th years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Nearly 80 and had a good run, no desire to live to 110. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Surprised I made it pass 40, let alone making it to 68 soon. Unless an unexpected oops along the way, may make to 80. I've never taken better care of myself, with yearly check ups now, so should catch anything early that would cause a problem. With the world going the way it is, I'm really glad I'm in Thailand than them G7/20 countries. What sh!t holes they're becoming.

I have an endless stream of pension money, but at 65 I seriously doubt I'll make 70, none of my pals have survived beyond then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they've always been of this manner........the sh*t holes that you speak of. The deluded matrix panes are cracking exposing the reality.

farmerjo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 No I think a lot who have worked tirelessly till retirement age have this feeling that governments should keep them alive for another 50 years to get their taxes back whether happy or not.
