It is a vexing question that we all have to sort out. How many years would we like to live? Well, when we hear the question, we spew out the answer, I want to live my life healthy and happy till the end. The end is less relevant if I live a good life. And yes, these answers are real, and they are good. However, what we need not do is fixate on a simple answer but rather think about how we really want to live our lives. What would make us fulfilled and happy? What would make us better, a better part of our community, and for as long as possible? With some thought, we can be ready to answer the question with a thoughtful and practical answer. It is up to us how we answer but in that the freedom to think about purpose and legacy and vitality and happiness. We can have them all for as many years as we are here, all we must do is to make it so.

Loving life when I live for as long as possible
