As time progresses so too does the average human life span. Eventually, 150 years of age won't be anything unheard of. Who in their right mind would pass up on a chance to live an extra 50 years? I would. I enjoy having a limited time on earth. It makes me value what I have. Sure, I won't be able to see everything there is to see. What I do see though I'll cherish. I feel like the longer you get to live the easier it is to feel less thankful for what you have. People have accomplished more than I ever will in forty years. I'd feel selfish living past 85 years of age. People in underdeveloped countries are starving and I'm eating at a five star restaurant the day before my third lung transplant. A child is going to die because of a lung deformity and I'm getting one so I can attend my great grand daughters graduation. Life is great because you know you have to make the most of it. I would love being able to see my great great grandkids. I also don't want to be the ancient grandpa who gets drunk and starts preaching about his backwards ideology. Brett Favre would have been better off retiring as a Packer. Michael Jordan was better off retiring as a Bull. You have to go before you out welcome your stay.
