Which life would you choose?

Question

A long, secure but dull life that leads you into "old age", or a life that is shorter with more exciting events and possibilities, the caveat being that at any moment you could die before 65 while the other life is guaranteed.

Answer 1

Live fast, die young. Yay!! There's no point in living if you're not gonna enjoy it.

Answer 2

If we have the power to choose I would love a life of BILL Gates. There is nothing like old age as you can be of use to people with your rich experience and offer it to the youngsters. By the way, you can be old but still feel young at heart. Ask Hefner of Playboy magazine. All life has exciting events and possibilities and even the person who has become old has gone through these events and possibilities.

Answer 3

This question was posed to Alexander the Great, a long and uneventful life, or a glorious and action-packed shorter life. He chose the glorious life and died at 32 supposedly of eating meat while suffering from fever. He conquered from Greece to the Indus River.
I have lived a pretty long life three-fourths of it with a lovely lady. I have no regrets for this long happy life having shared all with her and our children, and now grandchildren.
Since I was a child I always kept myself busy constructing things, inventing things, reading everything, just keeping myself busy. I have never experienced boredom.
In response to your question, I would leave it up to Divine Providence if I had to do it all over again.

Addenda: In response to Sick Man... I have read a paperback titled "Life after Life." Many near death experiences are described by many people from different walks of life, cultures, countries, etc. In my readings the earliest recorded near death experience occurred to a Greek soldier circa the Peloponnesian Wars.

Answer 4

Neither. I choose a long and exciting life like my grandparents had. The longer the life, the more the excitement. Their eighties and nineties were the most exciting decades of their lives, filled with love, travel, extravagence, health, and freedom. The older I get the wilder and more eccentric I will become! Rich or poor, doesn't matter. That was a great question! Thanks.

Answer 5

oh let me ask you where does it say there is an afterlife. Cuse of some book that someone wrote. Get real lol. Why cant we see the other world....? ok ok anyways. I'd chose that life that you could die any moment live at the edge. So even if I die I belive there is no after life so get real.

Answer 6

The truth is that anyone of us could die at any second, A meteor could fall on our head, we could get struck by lightening, we could get hit by a truck, or we could have heart disease and not know it and have a heart attack. A classmate of mine in the 7Th
grade, died of a heart attack while playing football in his back yard.

It isn't whether we have fun in life it's how close we can come to following God's instructions and how close a relationship we can develop with God. I promise you, if you try to do that, God will lead you on the greatest adventure in the world. I'm 63 years old
and have had plenty of difficulties in life but I have never been bored 1 second!

Answer 7

Tell you the truth, I'd enjoy guaranteed advancement into old age. Boredom is in the eye of the beholder. I enjoy reading, treks into the woods, conversations and music, being with the one I love. That's not life in the fast lane, but it's good enough for me.

Answer 8

Long Life....Dying at a young age limits your knowledge you could have had witness new family members stuck around to see others go....

You don't get old being a fool....I will have to take the dull and boring

Answer 9

Answer 10
