Trying with food, drink and magic spells,Life is now longer, on average, at least for those of us living in nations with decent health care. But we all still die.
to dam life's natural flow and not to die.
Question: is it better to have a three day vacation that brings joy and satisfaction, or to have a three week vacation filled with boredom and sadness? The length of life is not as important as the quality. Of course, we would prefer to have both; a long life filled with joy and satisfaction, but if we had to choose, who wouldn't prefer a short life worth living over a long life which we are anxious to discard?
Follow the thought to it's end. Aren't we foolish to search so diligently for longer life--through medicine, or diet, or exercise, or avoidance of danger--while failing to find happiness?
