I think that it would be hard to have that, to depend on everybody when you are old and about to die. Of course by this time, all your friends would have died, you would have been ready to die in peace, it would be easy to be waiting for death to come for you, to finish you off. You would be waiting, alert, the only comfort that you may get is from your family. The only way that the will be with you is if you were kind to them. Your children may have died off and only your grandchildren and greatgrandchildren would be left. They may not know you as well and may leave you to die or abandon you because they are not ready to care for you. It would be difficult for me because I enjoy people around me to talk to and it would be very hard to be alone with no one there to visit with. Maybe I would become like Morrie from the book Tuesdays with Morrie because I would try to pass on my knowledge to the new generation. It woul dbe hard without my spouse if she died. I guess all in all it would be hard for me to deal with the problems.
I think it would be a great feat to make it into my hundreds, but I don't think it would be worth it. When you become older, your brain slows down and loses function. As long as I'm alive, I want my mind to be sharp and ideas clear. If I am senile and confused, I would rather die and go to a place where I will be in peace. Or if i was in severe physical pain, like my Grandpa was for a long time, I would rather be where I didn't have to go through that.
I think living into my hundreds would be very awesome…maybe even living to be the oldest person in the world. At the rate that I drink Mt. Dew and eat all the junk food that I do, I don’t think that I will be living to be the oldest person in the world. Although living to be that old also has its disadvantages, for example, you would have to be watched all the time making sure you don’t just suddenly tip over because of old age. Also it would have its advantages, for example, you would get to see your daughter’s kid’s kids or yours sons.
Well I dont want to live till 100 cause i just dont want to live that long. i do want to die peacfully. but when you live to 80 you have nothing to do anymore and time is pointless to waste like that. i dont know why doctors want to keep them alive till 100 cause most of them enjoyed there lives and they want to leave the earth. doctors think there depressed but they dont know. they dont know.....
So long as I was still independantly mobile and could do pretty much whatever I wanted to still, I wouldn't mind living to be 100 or older. If my life gets to the point where I have to live in a nursing home and depend upon nurses and younger family members to take care of me, then I think that my life will have progressed to the point where I wouldn't be enjoying myself anymore, at which point I would probably kick the bucket out of sheer boredom. So long as one is enjoying onesself, I think that one should live to be as old as is humanly possible.
Living into my 100s is not something on my bucket list. I dont like to depend on other people right now, so knowing that i might have to live in a nursing home scares me. I think that if you live everyday to the fullest and never regret something you have done, then dieing wouldn't be something you would be scared of. I can see though, were people would want to live to their 100s. They could then say that they have truely seen it all, or that they have truely lived a full and joyful life. In my eyes, I would be perfectly okay with living to my late 80s/mid 90s and calling it quits, because at that age I would have lived to see what I want to see. I would be ready to move on to something that my earthly body could never imagine.
I think that the only way I would be able to live into my 100s would be to have an insanely positive attitude for life. One person who has this attitude is Shirley Holt. She is always cheerful and happy to be alive. One great thing about being 100 is that you would be one of the few around and you can tell all the people around you the stories about when you were young. You could just make stuff up because no one can say that you're wrong since they weren't there. Some bads things would be you have to rely on someone else to change your daipers and such. My dad also thinks that it would be bad for me to turn 100 because I would have to take care of him.
Living to be a 100 is not something I expect on doing. I am not the type of person who likes to depend on other people to do stuff for me. So if I was in her shoes being the age 114, I would probably be wishing I was still young and able to move, and would be wanting my life to be over. Being all alone, and knowing that my time could be over any second would scare me a little. I would have to have a positive attitude everyday, and be grateful for the people that are helping me stay alive. I have great respect for that lady who lived to be 114, and hope to have the same positive attitude she had each and every day.
I think it would be many people's goal to live into their hundreds. However some people may not want to do this because they feel that they couldn't do very much and would be sickly and fragile. This isn't the case with everyone. I think people can live to this old age by doing everything they could to stay healthy when they are young. If you aren't healthy when you are young then you could get some disease or problem. I think you know you are getting old when all your friends start dying. My grandma goes to several funerals a month. I think it just turns into a social event. I personally think that would just get depressing after awhile. I wouldn't want to live that long if I was lonely.
