What makes life worth living for you? Is it so precious that you want to live to be 100? At what point do you decide you want to die and what gets you to that point? Is life really worth living?
Its a crazy mixed up worth don't you agree?

Im almost 40 and having a blast. My wife is great, kids are fun, job is awesome. I have a good church family. Life is good.
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS...trust me. but overall--very good.
When I start crapping my pajamas, drooling on my dinner plate, and wondering just who the hell I am, well, its prbably time to cash in my chips. I hope its around 100.

I'm almost 44 years old. I've seen many things both good and bad. I been at the bedside of loved ones that died too early. I've seen countries and meet people and daily I learn something new. I don't know if I"m going to live to be 100 because I'm not promised tomorrow. But I do know that if you make and attempt to take care of your body and what you put in it, you never know how long you might live. I don't want to die yet, there is still so many things I want to see and do and would like to see what my kids will accomplish in their lives. Yes, I think life is worth living, and you have to make it that way. For the past month, I have not had it so great, but you know what, I'm not going to let it keep getting me down. I think people want to die when they feel they have no purpose, when they are so depressed that they can't crawl out of that deep void of depression. But there is always a tomorrow. Life is so very crazy and so mixed up and I doubt myself I will ever find the answer for that. My life has not at all been like what I had ever pictured or invision, but I thank God daily I'm still here and I'm still able to walk, see, have good health when so many others do not have that. To me, life is worth living even with many dips, bumps, and rocks along the way.

I'm over 50 and I can tell you that the older I get, the younger 100 looks!
I guess a person would be ready to die when they've done all they can do for other people and there's nothing more. But being ready is not the same as actually dying ... when and how we go is not up to us.
Yes, life is worth living! If you're looking for bad things, you'll find them, but if you're looking for good things, you'll find those too. Your perspective is what makes the difference.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Good question ... are you drinking or pouring? Depends on your perspective.
For me personally, it's my family, my friends, my work ... all lead me to my purpose in life. I wish the same for you!

At times life can be hard and crazy that makes you want to give up on it, but then when you think of all your loved ones and know that you are loved by someone it makes you feel different about life. Everyday is worth living to me because it was given to me and i want to accept my life as a gift and i repay God and my parents by giving thanks to them and making my life easier and stable than the way most people have to live. I will be blessed if i make it to 100 years old and I will be blessed if I get to see tommorow. But If i make it to see 100 i will look back on the struggles I had and realized that i have overcome them and made something out of my life.
Yes life is hard and crazy, but you have to learn how to overcome obstacle in your way, the best things in life are worked for and a lot of effort is put into it to make it what it is! I will not choose to die i will let God make that choice for me but untill then, since im only 15, i will live each day to the fullest and live it as it were my last day alive, because i know that it is what God wants me to do and it is what my parents want me to do. I know if I had taken my life it would've have affected a lot of my friend and family and would've made it hard on them, so i gotta think of them and make sure that they are happy, that makes life worth living! Living for those around you and being happy, God Bless!

Living in the flesh is indeed a time of testing and trouble and each and every one of us face, in most cases, the same problems in life, as long as we keep money out of the picture and the differences betweeh the rich and the poor. Our life here in the flesh on Earth is a time of testing and choosing...we are here for only one important reason: "Where will you spend eternity...in Heaven or in Hell?" I know these things to be true because of actual and undeniable experience. We all have a soul within our bodies that exists and will continue to exist throughout all eternity, without an end. But the choice is yours and yours alone, as to where you want to spend it.

Every life has it's purpose.Whether to change it slightly or help all of mankind.If you are alive it is because you are meant to do something important ...could be as simple as bringing a child into this world or as coplicated as saving the world.So many things make life worth living,look around you...you'll find it....your calling.

I like getting up and seeing the sunshine and the kittens and puppies playing in the yard. I like the taste of a good pizza and lasagna. I like splashing away in the lake and sailing into the blue. I like hearing about the family and what they are making happen in their lives. I like sewing a dynomite original dress for the next opportunity to dance. I like a kiss in the dark before going to sleep. Being loved is right at the top. So I would like to live it as much as possible. Thank you.

Life is worth living only as long as you're getting something out of it. People have an in-built survival mechanism, which is why more people don't take the final step out of existance.

My family makes life worth living for me. Yes, I would love to live to be 100 or even longer. How special is that to get to see your family grow? Wouldn't you want to be around to see your grandchildren or great grand children?

I always said I never wanted to live past 80. Now I'm going to have a child at the age of 42. I want to live until my child is old enough to be able to let me go without too much pain. I want to see my child be a parent himself.
