You don't believe in an afterlife, and you want to live to be like 90.

Well, good news, there is an afterlife (most of us will forget it due to our mental states) and you'll probably live to be over 60, which, guess what brother, for thousands of years "living a full life" meant living to about 60.

If you make it to sixty, you should feel as though you've lived a full life. You won't get the chance to do everything that's here. You simply won't. Tacking on an extra thirty years is a fine goal to have, but it's not required to live a full, long life. It sucks for your friend's wife, but if she's totally downtrodden and heartbroken because her husbands life-force moved on, then she's also got some maturing to do. People die, we must accept this.

You are scared of something so minimal, and you have personal views which don't reflect Objective Reality. These are the things you should focus on figuring out. They are discernable if you put forth an effort. Your life will be enriched by truth once you start to live more naturally-minded, rather than focused on fear and such.

What are you, in your 20s? It's easy to say when you're young. Wait till you're 40 and looking at only living another 20 years, you'll sing a different tune.

I know it's hard meeting someone who doesn't despair over death. You must think that I am inexperienced, or plain foolish. I don't rightly care. I've faced death many times, and I willingly walked into situations where death might meet me faster. My tune WILL change, but only because I will continue learning how to accurately express these truths. Edit: for every despairing elder you speak of, I would speak of one who does not fear death, and who welcomes it like a friend. You are obviously older than me and worried about it. I would get that dealt with, you have plenty of time finding courage : )
