Venting Ppl say life is too short. I think it's the opposite.

[leavingthesoultrap]

Life expectancy nowadays is unnaturally long. It's like 80 years in the 1st world. Before all the healthcare advancements life expectancy was around 45-55 max. If you were in your 40s you were considered a grandma/grandad.
Okay some would say it's great that we live twice as long but we also live at much more faster pace. Back then life was slow. It was harder in a lot of ways but the pace was slower, so you got to be present. You lived in the moment.
Anyway... that's the end of my deranged ramble.

how do you know?

Life is tortuously long. I don't understand people who say life's too short. It's clearly not.

 

[purplesky]

Those who are enjoying life and having fun are those who say life is too short! Just about everyone on here says life is too long and ready to go!

 

[abchia]

i wonder if people back then (when the life expectancy was shorter) enjoyed life more than us today.

Life's too long. I just want to die young

For me, life is too short.
But my main problem is the aging of our bodies.

I don't like the passing of time and the negative effects that come with it.
Old age and helplessness at this age terrify me.

In my opinion, old age takes away all the flavor of life.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Life seems short once you're older and look back on it because of the way our bodies and minds age and the way we process memories. I think people also mean that their peak is a relatively short window of time. Like I'm 40 now, but it occurred to me the other day that I may as well be 45 or 55 because nothing meaningful happens after this point. And once you're over the hill, you're over the hill for good.

This both posbl see prspctv how ppl prcv time diff dpnd situ

i always get unreasonably pissed about how much healthcare's improved lolol... because we're not meant to be that old, and we're overpopulated as hell.

it's irrational, but i wish they'd just amp up natural selection a little and take some regulations down. that way, people go when they go, and people aren't stuck in complete bone-creaking limbo.

then again, that's just an extreme opinion of mine bc overpopulation pisses me off for no reason

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Whether life is too short or too long is basically a subjective experience.

In my case life couldn't be long enough before I failed big in life.

I still have hope that my life - long term - won't be as bad as I think.

then again, that's just an extreme opinion of mine bc overpopulation pisses me off for no reason

I agree - overpopulation is a big problem and we caused it due to medical development like we humans created our own artificial habitat that completely disconnects us from nature.

It really is far too long to me as well, I find it terrifying how humans can potentially exist for such a long time, I'd always prefer to not exist than to suffer for decades just to be tormented by old age.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Life truly is too long for me and will always be. I can't relate to those who think that life is short as it isn't for me. For me, everyday passes so slowly and painfully. I just wish to be dead already so that time can no longer affect me as there wouldn't be a me at all. I can't wait for the day where I'm dead

Life's too long. I just want to die young

I thought you said that life is too short? Or at least that time passes by quickly

Even when an 80 year old geezer dies in his sleep, we still consider it a tragedy. You're practically a monster, if you don't put on a sad face at their funeral.

What matters the most is how much someone got out of life, not the nimber of years they clocked.

This doesn't take infant mortality into account.
