i claudius Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 After reading the other post regarding what you would do if you had 5 hours to live ,what would you think of being given 500 years to live? after the first whoopie i personally would see it as a curse not a blessing ,what about you?

Jingthing Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Let me think on this for 100 years, give or take a decade. Good question. The brevity of our lives gives it more meaning. But if the typical life span was 500 years that might seem brief too. Edited April 3, 2014 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 A curse, to watch everyone you ever cared about and loved die one by one, ok you have time to make new relationships just watch them die too, no thanks, a curse for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It would be a big drag to keep up with all the technological changes. I find after age 200, you just want to keep with the old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't follow that ? All I get for the past few years is News of friends and relatives that just died, so if you lived for 400+ years longer you would be used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkden Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The longer you live the more years you have to work before you can retire! That idea sucks. Imagine you started to work at 20 and now you are ninety and still working because you need to save enough to have 50 years in retirement!!! Sounds really bad to me!

You just hit the nail on the head ,i cant even begin to imagine the pain .imagine watching your children die and then if you married again seeing it over and over.

CharlieH Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) You could go one step further and really suffer, although after a period it wouldnt hurt so much and that would be to be told you were immortal!

I wouldn't like to spend 400 years lying in a bed sucking food through a straw. no same age all the time What if all of humankind lived 500 years along side of you like the life span bible says people lived before the great flood, but they seemed to spend their time " begatting" which would be the enjoyable part . If all of humanity lived 500 years then it would make no difference at all to what happens now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapfries Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I have the answer: I would embark on an epic sailing-trip around the world and truly "see" everything there's to see all over this beautiful world of ours. I would make my yacht totally self-sufficient (Solar; Water; Electric Engine) and with 1,000 sets of sail-wardrobes, I bet you I could go a long way . . . . . . . Now THAT would be a dream ! ! ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
