The only control we have over the duration of our life is to shorten it, and we do that all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that if you live long enough, you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control, but how you respond to it is in your control. That's what I try to remember.
We're not trying to make us live forever; we're not trying to even make us live significantly longer. What we're trying to do is extend the period of healthy life.
There's only so much you can control in life.
Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.
We are living in a world that is beyond controllability.
We've got one life and the older we get the more we come to realize how short it is.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
As long as humans have existed, we have always desired to live longer. Every society, every religion, every culture. Of course, they all failed at dramatic life extension.
Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.
The best way to navigate through life is to give up all of our controls.
