Living a very long life

Living a very long life is a dream most people have.

The question they should be asked is doing what?
Living for a thousand years and achieving nothing positive in that period is a waste. A waste of time, space, and resources. Human life, even if short, should achieve something positive.

Learn some skills, write, draw, paint, be creative, plant a tree, teach a child. Evolve. You may not have saved the planet, but you would leave the earth a wiser person.
