I don't really have much say on this wish because looking at it holistically, you would know that it is beyond mere wish. When it's time to return home, I don't think there's anything anybody can do about it. I wasn't the one who that brought myself here and definitely it won't be me that would decide when to leave too.

I really want to live a long and fulfilling life. I believe that there's so much that I want from life and there's also so much that I have to give. There's a lot to experience and explore. For all of my dreams to be a reality, I need longer time on earth. I want to live until my grannies. Only after all that will I want to rest eternally.

I don't want to be a burden to anyone hence I wouldn't want to start fading away before I finally die. I'll settle with enjoying life now as someone once told me, "take all you can from life right now because once life starts taking from you, it takes everything until it takes your last breath."

Now that is a good question. I wouldn't mind living until I am in my 90's like my two grandmother's were when they died. However, if I am to live that long I hope it will be in good health and in good mind like one of my grandmothers. One of them was in perfect health and had her mind when she died. The other one had some health issues.  lived in a wheelchair and had problems remembering anyone most of the time. She decided to live the last 17 years of her life in a nursing home and have people taking care of her. She had basically given up because she couldn't remember people and she just got angry all the time.
I don't want to be a burden on anyone or live out the last of my days in some rest home. If I am sick and have lost my mind I feel it is better off for me and others around me that I am not here any longer. So to tell you how long I want to live will depend on my mind and my body and what type of health I am in.

It all depends on how well I am. My father had very good health right up to the end of his life but his death was very sudden as he died from a blood clot to the heart at the age of 78. He had a pain between his shoulder blades for a day or two and when he felt better he got out of bed and just collapsed and died. There was no real suffering apart from the terrible shock to us, his family.

My mother lived until she was 90 but she was in a terrible state at the end. She had poor mobility and dementia, she was often anxious without knowing why and when she went, although I was sad, I was also relieved for her as she had no quality of life.

If I had a choice I think I would prefer to  die at the age my dad did. He enjoyed life right to the end  and even though I wish he had lived a few years more it's all to do with quality of life and not about the number of years we can last out.

I wish to live for longer times. I think living at life at present is quite a struggle with all the problems with money, relationship and even having your own home but everyday, I get stronger and stronger because I keep on facing these problems most of the time. I do want to live longer because I do want to experience a lot of things in life. I want to see flying cars. I want to see people using Teleport as their transportation, you know the kind of things that looks impossible but very possible to do with human minds. There are more to do and many dreams to work on to come true. I want to make it happen. I still want to do my purpose. Living for long makes me a person worth of living here on Earth and surely I will give my all to share a legacy in this world.

I dont want to live very long. I'm quite scared of being left alone. I am an introvert but i honestly dont want to be the last one to go. It's quite sad to be left alone in this world, i mean i don't know if i'd be left alone or not, i might have grandkids or something, but the thought of it kinda makes me sad. Plus, being old seems so stressful, not only for me but for everyone around me. I don't want to burden people with my sickness (we all know old age comes with lots of different kinds of sickness). I don't want to be the reason their energies and life are getting sucked out of them.
Man, this question just made me sad. I am now picturing myself getting rejected by my children and grandkids because they can't handle me anymore, they can't handle my sickness and old age anymore. And i am picturing them in the kitchen while i sit in the living room talking to each other about me, pointing at each other who should take me. Oh gosh, this is one depressing question.

Life is beautiful, who wouldn't want to live long and enjoy this beautiful place as long as one is in good health and have some money to always make things happen.

I wouldn't want to live forever I believe life might be a bored if it is so but living to see my third generation wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm looking forward to being the best in-law, Granny and great Granny to my immediate family .Will love to see even my grandkids grow up.

I will love to experience and maybe use new technologies. I know what we have now is just a tip of what is coming in future and I wouldn't mind to be a partaker of this advancement.

Sometimes I wish to live forever. I am so in love with life, the struggles that comes with it, the new things that I learn, new places that I visit, the people I meet and the goals that I set for the future. I want this to last forever but that is not possible so I encourage myself to live life fully and never mind when the last day will come.
I am happy to be this resilient person who never gives up even in the toughest moment of life. I have seen people wish they could die when troubles come, others have even committed suicide. When I face trouble in life, I usually take time to imagine the good things that will happen when the trouble is over and that keeps me going. Therefore, I don't have a set amount of time that I want to live, I just want to live life fully.

I want to live in this earth until 60 Years. No one can say how long we live. But My wish is to live until my 60 years. I don't want to be live so long at the same time so short. I hope I finish all my responsibilities in that age. So 60 years is my wish.

Good answer, I hope that you'll reach that age or maybe exceed that if you still can.

I like to live my whole life like 'jb tk h jaan'. Life has just begun, there is still a long way to go. You have to keep doing something. Keep on walking.. 

'Ruk Jana nhi jeevan se haar ke'... 

If you enjoy life, then the challenges of life after 60 s. Life starts when you are 60s.

So I like to live long...

I want to live a longer and fulfilling life. I want to achieve my dreams and make positive impact on people's lives. I would also wish to be blessed to see my generation it would be so fine for me to live to my old age called a grandmother.

Some of the nation’s brightest minds have declared an all-out war against aging. From Google’s campus to university labs to government think tanks, researchers claim that babies born this year should live up to 120 years and that, long before today’s infants mature, some readily achievable changes in health care will have produced millions of sharp, active and healthy centenarians.There’s just one problem: It’s not entirely clear that most Americans want to live to 120 — or much past 90, for that matter.

The Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project asked more than 2,000 U.S. adults about their desire to live longer, as well as their hopes for enhanced life expectancy and medical services.

Report: Spain’s Second Largest Bank BBVA Plans To Cut 3,000 Jobs

BBVA reportedly plans to slash jobs as it deals with loan losses amid a drive towards more digitization, joining a flurry of European lenders making similar cost reductions.

Some of the nation’s brightest minds have declared an all-out war against aging.

The Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project asked more than 2,000 U.S. adults about their desire to live longer, as well as their hopes for enhanced life expectancy and medical services.

Only 38% of respondents said they would be willing to undergo treatments to extend their lives to 120 or beyond; 56 percent said they would not, although two-thirds said they believed most other people would. Most Americans, though, do expect to live longer than the current average U.S. life expectancy of 79, according to Pew. Asked how long they thought they would live, 69% stated an age between 79 and 100, with 90 being the median.

In general, respondents to the Pew survey were hopeful about medical advances to address cancer and other potentially fatal conditions. But they were deeply skeptical about life extension research. Three out of four adults said they doubted that people would routinely live to 120 by 2050. Slightly more than half (51%) said that development would be “bad for society;” 41% said it would be a good thing. Two-thirds of respondents said they imagined such advances would mostly benefit the wealthy and only a quarter expect that treatments would be properly tested before being released to the public.

If I am going to answer this, it would be fine to live a hundred years old. The condition is that I am not having serious illnesses if reaching this age.

I could wish to die today itself if possible. Only condition that the dead  is to be confirmed. No one is needed to live without our own personality. I hate to live has another person working on me. Better to die without having my own personality.

I truly need to carry on with a long and satisfying life. I accept that there's such a lot of that I need from life and there's likewise such a lot of that I need to give. There's a ton to encounter and investigate. For my fantasies to be all a reality, I want longer time on the planet. I need to live until my grannies. Solely after all that will I need to everlastingly rest.

I don't know but if given a chance, I wish to live hundred years. It's really nice to live here although we have so many problems. Even though I've had many sickness when I grow old, it's still a pleasure to be here for long.
