Living a very long life

Responding to the Bloganuary January 8 prompt:

Daily writing prompt
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

It depends.

If everyone can live for a very long life (say 100 years old at the minimum), but every other factors remain the same, then I feel like the quality of life may become bad or terrible.

There would be more and more people, on a crowded and limited space we call Earth. Resources will become lesser.

Unless we are not confined to just Earth. If we are able to travel to and live in other planets, then that may not sound like a bad idea after all.

But in the end, what is the purpose of life?

If we do not have a purpose in our lives, then what is the meaning of living a very long life? What difference does it make?

Would it be boring? Would it even be a torture?

Unless we never stop learning. To make long lives purposeful and meaningful.

That’s the meaning of life.
