Is life short or not?

If you ask me, life is not short

so I don't understand why people complain about how long life lasts

It would be nice if humans lived a little longer, provided that the ageing process slowed down to accommodate.

If I were able to change one thing however, it would not be the length so much as the fragility of life. The human body is far too fragile.

It is not so much that life is short as that we have precious little of it available in order to pursue things we may find worthy.

I smell something....
Considering that I want to live forever and with the skill in which I am achieving that goal, life is disturbingly short in my opinion.

yeah....I would prefer that the ageing process was definitively eliminated

In relation to the age of the Earth and the Cosmos; yes life is short. There's thousands of things we won't experience in our lifetime because of how little we truly live.

In the grand scheme of things, life is short.

And you could die tomorrow - that makes it shorter.

When I think about all the things I want to do in my lifetime, it makes me realise how short a time I actually have on this earth.

Just because people have have desires.
And you feel like.. people complaining because.. I think you don't have much desires in your life, do you, hay ? :)


I do have them. But satisfying desires has nothing to do with the lasting of life.

I think how long or short life seems corresponds to how happy a person is, quite often.

If we live our life to its fullest, then when death arises we see it a friend, if we don't live our life to its fullest, then we see death as an enemy.
