Now I'm no biologist, but it seems to make a lot of sense that slow lives, as well as being enjoyable, are long lives. One only has to think of the example of the tortoise for proof of this theory from the animal world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
There is more to life than increasing its speed.
Parrots, tortoises and redwoods live a longer life than men do; Men a longer life than dogs do; Dogs a longer life than love does.
Perhaps genes did regulate the aging process. Perhaps different organisms had different life spans because a universal regulatory 'clock' was set to run at different speeds in different species.
Life, if well lived, is long enough.
You see, every creature alive on the earth today represents an unbroken line of life that stretches back to the first primitive organism to appear on this planet; and that is about three billion years.
Life is just a short period of time in which you are alive.
I don't think life is about a pace, living slow or fast. I think you just live, y'know what I mean?
We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.
Human lifespan used to be 30 years, 25 years. But there's no basic, fundamental reason why it has to be short.
