Whether to live a long life is a personal choice which we need to make for ourselves. We must go inside to seek the answer from our ‘self’ or listen to our inner voice to seek the answer. We must not make such an important decision based on what society, family, or friends might think about this controversial subject. However, we ought to arrive at our decision after discussing such a heavy topic with those we are close to if possible. It should never be left to others to make it for us. We must take responsibility for that final decision.
Yes, we can play an important role on whether we want to have a longer life or not. To help us make such a decision we can do so by answering the following questions:
- Why do we want to live a long life?
- Would we want to live a longer life if we met up with some misfortune such as an accident crippling us for life?
- What kind of contribution could we make to the world if we live longer?
- How would we like to live out our life as we get older?
- And finally, what is our purpose for living a longer life?
This list could lead to many more questions around this topic. However, I think the most important question we need to answer is “why” we want to live a longer life? Is it because we are afraid to die? If that is the case, then we will have much trouble with the whole process of what constitutes a worthwhile life. On the other hand, if we want to live longer because we have more to do that would be of some kind of service to others or the world, then why not go for it and live longer?
