"Abraham...died in good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people," so said Genesis chapter 25 and verse 8. Abraham was indeed very old when he died, at the age of 175 years old.
While I cannot imagine living till 175 years old in Abraham's generation, I do like to live till that age and in good health.
I wonder how he spent his time! I mean without the airplanes, without TV, without internet, with shopping centers, without coffee, without newspaper and a lot of things that we take for granted today.Besides wandering around in the Promised Land, he had no other trip to boast of.
Today we have so much to do, so I think we should all live till 200 years old. That will be really a very "good old age, full of years".
Come to think of it, live till 200 years old shouldn't be terribly difficult. After all, just got to wake up every morning and live through the day. Let us calculate:
200 years = 200 x 365.25 = 73050 days
So just got to wake up 73050 days and breathe in and out throughout the day.Plus eat and drink and talk throughout the day.How difficult can it be?If you are reading this article, I assume you have survived many days already.
Of course the government won't like the idea of everyone living till 200-years-old, the insurance company also won't like it. They call it "risk of longevity", meaning you live too long, and become a risk to their "pockets".
But I like it very much, I'm going to work till 62 years old, or even earlier, then become a happy retiree. Then cruise around the world, try all the good food, walk the Appalachian Trail, play mahjong whole day, play slot machines whole weekend. surfing the internet every day ......
In fact there are so many things to do. And once hit the 100 years old mark, just got to go around the world and give motivation talks, teaching folks how to live long and fruitful life.
Hit the 130 years old mark, time to commission a book and earn royalty from there. Revise the book every 2 years so that it remains the best seller.Let me see, should the title of the book be “How to live beyond 130 years old” or “How to eat, drink, sleep and talk your way to 130 years old and beyond.”
Well, I have to live for another 95 years or so before commissioning the writing of the book, so I have a lot of time to ponder over it.
I guess money is not a problem once I become the oldest living person in the world. Everyone will pay to hear me talk.Talking is a passion, much nicer to be paid for it. That is indeed rich in every sense.
That's enough for today.I will continue to talk and write as long as I am around, so dear readers, please live longer to enjoy my writings!
