The older I get, the more I believe that life is really about enjoyment, not longevity. We are here to have fun and burn brightly, not live to be 120 years old and hate 50 years of it. Whats the point of busting loads against the wall for decades and doing nothing but surviving?
Societies marketing of long life is creepy AF. I’m in my 30s and all I can see is the negative of how the world works. To entertainment myself and ignore the harshness of reality just makes me want to leave sooner. It feels so cowardly to have to live so helplessly in a world you know is wrong.
Thanks for the insight. Most of us interpreted the comic in a more negative light (pun intended).
I completely agree with you. There is a book written by a nursing home carer where she collected the advise and words of wisdom from the elders. Pretty much all of them regret not doing many things while they were younger and more able. In hindsight, they realised that the things they have not done are completely innocent and should not have let fear of being judged or fear of the unfamiliar get to them.
So yes, better to have lived a full life even it’s short, than to live old full of regret! So long as you and others are not harmed!

I’m going to die tragically young at 137, too soon, but it’ll be super bright and fun
