Yes.
One lives, then One dies. End of story.
Whatever One does in between doesn't even prolong the inevitable.

Of course it is!
The universe is approximately 14 billion years old. The human life (72 years used for the calculation) as a percentage of the life of space-time is ->
.000000514 %
If you can't process the smallness of that ratio, put another way - the human life is 5.14 ten millionths of one percent of the age of the universe.
If this ratio is illustrated by equating the life of the universe to one calendar year, the human life would be 0.16 seconds relative to the entire calendar year....or 6.25 generations come and go every second!
This doesn't even take into account the time before time, which is infinite!

I believe life is veeeery long. But only if you live in the present. Only then can you live life to the fullest, enjoy every second of it. If you live for tomorrow, whatever tomorrow that is, you will waste time, and not notice time passing. In that case, life is short, because you will die before tomorrow has come. It is always and ever today, and today is never-ending!

It's as long as it's supposed to be. The reason for your own life you decide, but the main purpose for your life experience is, by default, to feel and experience joy, for yourself and perhaps others. Do this and it will not have been a waste at all. I recommend the movie American Beauty for a good lesson on that.

Compared to the lives of lots of plants and animals on this earth, yes life is short for humans so why waste your time hating, planning revengue, etc. Try to be happy.
