Completely. I miss my single-digit years.

It totally depends on how people get treated for it, though attitude definitely helps.  Those who fight with knowledge and are able to laugh through the hard times seem to survive more.  I've seen people with lymphomas who are still going strong after 5-10 years.

Abso-posi-lu-tively life into years!\nIf I could have left this world 8 years ago, I would have been satisfied at the time of my death.\nNow I am getting older and I have not been able to experience the "live and let live happily" side due to legal vs. moral argument.\nI am under authorative thumb now from standing for my beliefs and not allowed to live freely. It has added years to my life, but would gladly trade the years for life.\n\nHopefully, the Lord has a plan in my coming years to bring back the life. Atleast I will have eternal life and that, my friend, makes it worth living.

This life's struggles seem  to be "not worth it".\n\nA struggle within to reconcile the goodness of God with the visceral images of death and hate and disease all around us.\n\nThe wish to be able to live as a child all you life and escape the madness of people and their agendas.\n\nLacking that, let's just die.

No. 28.\n\nEDIT: Hmmmm. Getting thumbs down for stating my age and religious belief. Clearly, the crazy, rabid God squad are alive and well on this thread. I would go round and give all the believers thumbs down like they've done to us but i'm not that sad and I believe in live and let live. Obviously they don't. What a surprise!!!!

Didn't you find at 40 a new and better life began. I am 57 and find that as each day goes past, my eyes are opened more and prayers that have been prayed for are being answered. Some of those prayers were prayed since teens.\nIf you have God in your life, as each day passes, a greater day is given.

I've known stubborn set-in-their-ways people who were 7-years old.  I've known enthusiastic, open-minded, ready to learn and take on new challenges people in their 90s.  My guess is that people are who they are and the years just pile on after that, and it's who they are deep down that will see them open to change or not.\n\nBut my opinion isn't written in stone.  I'm open to changing it.\n\n;)

The most difficult years are those when you look upon yourself and discover that you hurt the ones you loved, the most difficult times are those when you learn nothing, but sink more into the abyss of abnormality and oblivion, showing no mercy to yourself and to your loved ones...\nThe good years are when you can take a deep breath, without feeling a slight pain or feel sorry for it... :)

I am not sure. I'm still young. I think life in the entire package is worth it! There are no better or worse times as long as you are alive and living life the fullest! :)

Trying to survive.... it's not easy. Since we as humans still can't get along without screwing everthing up... the road ahead will only get worse before it gets better. We better be glad that GOD is still on our side.

This is a hard question, but since I am age 51, I would rather die at 90 alone, than to die in 4 years from now. My life has not been so great in the last 40 years with divorces and deaths of loved ones, so I would rather live a long time now that I have started to be happy again in my present marriage and life.

If my son were here with us, but truthfully, I wouldn't wish him out of heaven. He died almost 3 yrs. ago. He would be 25 now. It would be more complete if life were more simple. Happy Thanksgiving. :)

I think about that some too, and its easy to get depressed over things.  I dont know what kind of religion you have, but I believe in this life we may grow old, but in the life after we are all young.  In the garden of Eden God placed the tree of Life, which Eve took fruit off the tree, and ate from it, in which God told us not to. I think that has to do with the life we have now.  Thats if you believe in that.  When I'm feeling down about things, I think about the life we will have after death.  *shrug* I hope that helps you.

All who have not yet reached the age of acountability and those mentaly unable to accept or reject God will be spared... as are any of those who die today... this is not strictly biblicaly supported, but it is a position of Faith based upon the certain knowledge of God's Love. As know by those of The True Christian Faith

yes, it is. 100 years ago you'd die of horrible diseases and infection, thugs, nature's wrath, wars (the last decade registered the lowest rate of wars in the history of mankind), poverty etc.
