Would you say that living to old age is overrated?

Dying young is the only alternative, and that sounds much worse. But in the interests of fairness I'll let you know how I feel in 70 years, if I make it there.

I can't see myself living past 40 if I'm honest.

When I see my ex-wife's mother at the age of 91 crying like a baby one minute and then swearing and punching at anyone within arm's length the next minute..... What is the effing point? She doesn't know who she is, where she is, who we are.....

An extreme example, I know, but if I live that long I do want to be there to know about it.

This site is full of dumbass kids who think they know everything. No kids, no future. Then 20 years down the line they're spending every cent they have to pay for assisted reproduction, wishing they hadn't killed themselves with cigarettes and drugs when they actually get closer to death for the first time in their lives.

You all need parents.

Partially yes.
If I had to sacrifice a long life for a good purpose I'd rather die young then life a life of regret.

On the other hand I can't stand the attitude: "I want to die young because life without youth is meaningless."
Honestly, if you can't live without strength and beauty then maybe your life is already pretty meaningless.

It's underrated.

No. I know many happy elderly people and they're definitely glad they lived a long life.

I will have caught the bus before that.

If you are healthy, no.

I think living that long is overrated, but being old is underrated. If that makes any sense.

Under-rated

I'd much rather live to be old and made something of myself than being young and not leaving an impact on the world.

I wouldn't say it's overrated, but it definitely doesn't appeal to everyone. I don't really like the sounds of it to be honest, I think I'd rather die a lot younger.
