You think you would learn much more after the age of a hundred? How many more life lessons/ experiences could you have after a hundred years. Id probably just give up on becoming wiser and tuck into some Matlock

Well... i think it would depend heavily upon the person... like... i believe the number of life experiences, the knowledge and wisdom that there is and that one can learn is enormously high, or even infinite. So, i think if someone wished to learn, they would spend millenia and wouldnt have learned everything... but, if after 100 years one (wrongly) supposed that they already has seen/lived everything that was to see/live, then the 100 last years would be only a burden of boredom and tiredness.
i think that when you reach 100 you have learned many of lifes lessons, but still do not know all of them. If you imagine this, 100 is not really that old, while it seems old to people a quarter that age, if you think about the fact that your grandparents were/are/about to be around 60 on average so its really not that old and there are many things to be learned.
Also since the times always chage, lifes lessons change too, and the extra 100 years will create more lessons in life that will be learned.
yeah ,look at how much happened over the last 100 years and all the diffrent things and technological advances.there would bee alot to look forward too , i dont think anyone would want to stop learning.
it depends. in my opinion that question is impossible to answer. the 200 years old person would know more about change and that kind of thing, having 2 times the time on earth of the other guy.
it depends on your outlook on life as well. whos not to say that the 200 year old took life for granted and didn't pay attention to the minute details whereas the 100 year old did... theres too many factors to sucessfully argue this in my opinion
I wish everybody to live forever and never die, and always dip from the well of life
afterlife is prolly a crock of shit
we ain going no war
Moses and the boys lived for 700 hundred years, give er take eating berries, water and nuts, before they had Fritos and pepsi!
Most definately yes!......when one reaches the point of all knowing, one is certainly already dead....................or a teenager.

They would either be twice as wise, or twice as senile.
I remember reading a National Geographic article once about people who were well over 100. Some were in the range of 115, and some even claimed to be as old as 130. Most had a great outlook on life and were happy to be as old as they were. But I remember this one woman from South or Central America somewhere who kind of resented it. She said her life had always been hard, and the priests had always said that if she lived her life the right way, someday Jesus would come to take her to heaven. She was a little pissed off because she was ready to go when she was 70, and now it was like 40 or 50 years later! When the hell was Jesus gonna come to take her? She must not have done what she was supposed to do if she was cursed to live all those extra years!
Maybe that why they lived so much... fritos and pepsi are far less healthy...Quote:

A moron at 100, a moron at 200. Age gives perspective, not wisdom.

Indeed... if someone arrived at the age of 100 and keep being a moron during all this time, then there is no hope... moron at 200, 300, 400...Quote:

If you are a person who tends to learn and gather wisdom, then you will still have plenty to learn after 100, and you will be wiser at 200.
I read recently that in the US the average life expectancy is 86 for women and 83 for men, and it has consisitently gone up about 3 months every year for decades (maybe even most of the last century --- it's a solid trend). So in about 60 years, the average life expectancey will be about 100. Even now, with the average life expectancy in the mid 80's, it means there a lot of people who live beyond their 80's. It's becoming very commonplace for people to live very long lives.
It's not age that makes you older it's experience.
Having cancer made me a much older person. So therefore I believe that I have an edge over most people my age.
That teenage bullshit was gone and went a lonnng time ago. Having cancer makes you grow up real fast. You finally get your priorities right and you value life even more. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
