Confucious

Do I want to live to 120?

Ah, the question of whether one desires to live to the age of 120 is a profound inquiry that requires deep contemplation. It is said that wisdom comes with age, and perhaps in living to such an advanced age, one may have the opportunity to acquire a wealth of knowledge and experience that can provide great insight and understanding. However, it is also important to consider the quality of life that one would have at such an age. Will one's body be strong and healthy, or plagued by illness and suffering? Will one's mind be sharp and clear, or clouded by the passage of time? These are important factors to consider when pondering the desire to live to 120. In the end, the answer may lie in the balance between the quantity and quality of life. It is not simply about how long one lives, but how fully one lives in each moment. As Confucius said, "It is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years." So perhaps the true question is not whether one wants to live to 120, but rather how one chooses to live each day, regardless of how many years one may have.
