You will live for 90 years. In total, 30 years will be spent alone. 30 years will be spent with others. 30 years will be spent on essential tasks, sleep, etc.

Which portion of your life would you chose to be alone, the first 30 years, the middle 30 years, or the final 30 years.

It depends what you mean by "alone". If you mean "alone" as in significantotherless, then I'd choose the first 30 years. I could wait 'till I was 30 to have a relationship with someone. If you mean, literally ALONE, like without even parents or anything, then I guess I would choose the middle 30 years so I wouldn't have to die alone.

The middle. In the first 30 years, you need people to learn from. The last 30, I'd want to talk to others to try to get the Big Picture, put stuff together; and who wants to be alone when they're sick and dying? The middle 30 are the most busy and productive.

the first 30 I will be alone, the second on task, and the third with others, however this structure, is not common, since in during your first 30 you are young and youth like being with others, the middle you would devote to work, then in you last years you cant get around allot, some of your friend fromyour first 30 are either dead, mad with you, or in another state, so it would be spent alone most of the time

I would rather be alone in the 30 years of the essential task stage.

i would spend the first 30 doing essential tasks, then the next 30 alone, and the next 30 with people.

i would go from least likable to most likable because i would not have anything to compare it to. but the 30 years doing essential tasks. are they spent alone or with people?

I'd spend middle 30 years alone in view of what I would need on the front end and the back end of existence.

30 yrs alone, 30 of essentials, 30 years with others. I want to die knowing that people will miss me (hopefully haha).

The final 30 years, no doubt...

Although, I hope we all have people around us our whole lives, because...

People need people. We're not solitary creatures by nature...and everyone needs love and support from other people...

A solitary life, is a lonely, terrible life in the long-run...(although occasionally a little solitude and meditation is also benficial...but only every now and then...)

The final 30--i'm old enough to actually know how little i'd be missing :)) I would consider the opportunity a gift from the Goddess.
