GREAT post.
I’m only 48 and have seen enough heartache (and physical ache :) ) to not want to live to 200 or whatever.
I am very happy for the folk that live to over 100 and are happy.
I just dont want to be one of them.
I’m 50 and pretty worn out. Having observed my mother, I know I can tough it out to 80 or so, but if “eternal life” doesn’t offer us something Totally Different, it’s nothing to look forward to.
I believe in something Totally Different.
I just dont want to be one of them.
I don't either, that would just mean a longer wait for my real home in heaven...I can't imagine how much farther this world can descend into insanity in another 50 years but I don't want to find out. I don't want to die anytime soon, but 80 years is long enough.
