Modern world and technology have
brought with them a long life expectation. Longevity nowadays is a common treat. This is something good
because almost everybody wants to live as much as possible.
Althought longevity can be seen as an
opportunity to do and achieve more things, this is not neccessarily so. I
truly believe that we can have a long and lasting life or a short one and
still have a joyfull life. This will depend on how we value every single day of our
lives. Sometimes we waste years and years trying to achieve impossible things,
trying to deserve other one´s love, or simply trying to be like
someone else. This behavior could lead us to last a hundred years and still to live like a few ones. There is a part in the bible, specifically (Wisdom, chapter 4 _8) which says ¨Length of days is not what makes age honourable, nor number of years the true measure of life; ¨ this means that no matter how many years we can live but how we can use each second of existence to accomplish the things that satisfy God and our souls.
