That's not a very good comparison, because if you live to 80 like that, you're going to "just burn out" too. If you "just burn out" at 35, then you haven't really lived, and you might as well continue the safe and boring life that would have made you "just burn out" at 35. However you look at it, either of your two lives are dull. Put on your crash helmet and take life for all it's worth and crash with fireworks somewhere in between!

If you're too boring you might wind up dying at 35 anyway. It takes a lot of energy to a live a long, fruitful life.

You can live to be 100 and not bored with life if you just get out and live. You don't have to be in the fast lane to enjoy life, to me it would go by way to fast and I might miss something along the way. I find joy in simple things like puppies, children, walks in nature, sunsets, rainbows. I've been all around this country and neighboring country's and find life (if you enjoy it) to be anything but a bore.

I think that depends heavily on your religious beliefs. While some "believers" scoff at atheists for not respecting life, it's actually quite the opposite. If you don't believe there's anything waiting for you after death, your life on this earth becomes much more precious. If you believe the sooner you die, the sooner you will live in God's presence, there's less motivation for living a long life.

Until I was 35 I would have said burn out.
Now I'm in my forties I'll go for a safe and boring 80 years or more please.

it's not entirely dependent on the years you lived
but how you spent them, & whom you shared it with
an 80 years of boredom is hardly possible-
only on other people's perception.
while burning out on the age of 35 is not necessarily
out of doing good things out of your fervor
it could be mere stupidity out of passion.
35 short years of time wasted.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving with a perfectly preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, and proclaim "WOW, What a ride!!"

It depends what is important to you quantity or quality. For me who would want to live a boring life but I would not go hell for leathr either. Moderation I guess.
