Average life expectancy has been increasing for the past several years. If I live longer, the average life expectancy will increase, which allows me to live longer still, which allows the average life expectancy to increase, which allows me to live longer still, etc etc. Infinite life.

Those who strive for longevity simply experience life as a mundane existence, while others, such as Ernest Hemingway, the greatest American writer of the 20th century, lived his life to the full. This barroom brawling, womanizing, whiskey swigging, flower arranging intellectual giant had squeezed more into his life by the time he was 30 than most boring wimps have done at three times that age. If life was expressed in terms of experience, he lived until he was 200 years old. In contrast, and metaphorically speaking, the 120 year old man living in quite solitude on the Tibetan mountains was, by the same measure, no more than 20. Live life to the full. Make provision for the future but live as though today was your last. Side: Live to max
