A 90 year old man with aches all over his body and he just wishes he would die. All of his friends and relatives are dead, and he has no one to talk to. He had a great, fun, and happy life while it lasted, but he knows it is time for it to end. Unlike this man, many humans wish they could live forever, but what they don’t realize is that there are advantages and disadvantages of living a long life. One advantage of being able to live a long life is that there would be more time to do all the thing you always wanted to do. But a disadvantage would be that everything would eventually change in a way people wouldn’t be able to comprehend.
For example, with living a long life everyone would be able to do all of the things they always wanted to do. If a man wanted more time to have fun, and he could live an extremely long life, that would be an advantage.He also would be able to go to all of the amusement parks, go skydiving, and be able to see the world. Having a longer life would also give everyone more time to build up a family. If a man wants to build up his family name, he would want more time to be able to have more children. This would be a perfect amount of time to be able to raise the children also. To be able to do this he is going to need money. Another advantage of living a long life would be being able to have have more time to build up a bigger franchise, like a 39 year old man having a flower shop. With this money he would be able to have more fun. He would be more happy, sociable, and joyous.
On the other hand, there happens to be a downside of this also. For example, if Jared were able to live an abnormally long life, all of his friends that he once knew would die way before him. Not only would his friends die, his children will grow up and get old before he dies. He would also have to repeatedly make more,and more, and more friends during his life. Also as time passes on Jarrods body will eventually get older. As his body gets older, his body will become more and more weak. Eventually, his body will begin to ache and he will begin to do less activities. With him not being able to do as much work, he won’t be able to take care of his flower shop. He will have to hire someone to take care of his shop when he isn’t working. Therefore, all good times eventually have to come to an end. Long life has it’s perks but it also has its hard times. Like losing a loved friend or family member, or when bodies begin to get old and break down.
Therefore, long life is both beneficial and not beneficial. No one would be happy or sad about living a long life, because they would have both happy, beneficial, loving times and hurtful, sad, uncaring times.
