The Weight of Longevity

Longevity is often perceived as an aspiration, but merely living to an old age lacks inherent value. Life should be filled with contributions and passion, suggesting that a meaningful existence can be achieved in a fraction of the time allocated to it. The notion that one might live for 150 years, while engaging in monotonous activities such as watching television, exemplifies a hollow achievement devoid of purpose. Consequently, rather than merely extending life, it is essential to strive for a life filled with significant experiences and deeper engagement with the world.
