The concept of extraordinarily long lives has been kicking around mythology and philosophy for a long time. Most treatments end up with, “Please, just let me die!”
As Christians, when we conceptualize “eternal life,” we have to make sure that we don’t come up with “this life, only it goes on endlessly.” That way lies despair.
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.
