Why do some people die so young and others die so old?

Question

I know it sounds like a stupid question.. but I've been wondering. I know it's fate, and all, but I mean.. it's just my curiousity. Do you know if you're gonna live a long time or is it something you will never know?? It's all really odd but I mean, Princess Diana knew she'd die, I'm assuming early.

I'm just wondering. Some people seem to die so young, so unexpectedly and others seem to live on and on... and sometimes you wish people would have equal chances..

do you guys think the greats die young?? i have a sick and twisted idea that thats true. maybe im just bias

Answer 1

Because of:
1. Difference in genetics
2. Difference in health care
3. Difference in behavior
4. Environment
5. Accidents
John Wayne died on cancer , because he smoked and made movies near nuclear test grounds in Arizona in the fifties.
The man had great genes and could have lived to be 120.
JFK got shot
Unfortunately, bush is still alive, but 3800 soldiers died for his personal agenda.

Answer 2

"Why do some people die so young and others die so old?"
Even un-famous people die young (my nephew’s son died the day after is was born) and my dad's gonna be dying when he's pretty old - he's 90 now and in the best of health both physical and mentally.

Oh, the answer? Shït Happens; it’s a jungle out there.

John Lennon: Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John went out to get some bread and milk and *bang!*; his assassin had other plans.

Answer 3

The Bible doesn't support the idea of ones life course controlled by fate.

We are all imperfect beings and as such , we can and do die.
Some fall into situations that cause them to die early and some don't.
This happens to bad people and the good ones equally.

Princess Dianna made the wrong choice by getting into a car with a drunken driver , thats not fate , its idiot'ness.

Answer 4

I think that when it is your time to leave this mortal coil,you just go.
Some people know & some do want to know.
It really depends on how you view death:
If you are afraid of dying, most don't want to know.
And if death is something you are not afraid face, you probably already have the knowledge of when, but maybe not how.
I personally do not fear death. I just accept the fact that it's going to happen again and hopefully this time the doctors will not "jump-start" me like an old Harley.

Answer 5

Nobody knows exactly when they would die because if they did we wouldn't have life insurance. I do think that people do have some control on how long they can live by doing small things such as not drinking, smoking or doing drugs and also exercising.

Answer 6

I dont know when I will die, maybe tonight, maybe in 40 years, I dont know how long my family members will live...could be hours or years, we just dont know...There is a time for everyone to die and while we are alive we are to make the most of it and be prepared because if we know about Jesus and accept Him, we will be able to see our loved ones in the new place God has prepared for us. Be ready and repent and accept Jesus.

Answer 7

Not sure, but i think if we truely knew the answer wouldn't we be able to control when we die. Therefore, i do not think anyone actually does have the proper answer;)
