Live long or die young?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

If you could make a sort of Faustian pact, would you choose a short life, packed with experience, fame and a legacy or a long life of obscurity?

At at 17,my mates and me called our folks "the olds".Mum was 38. Dad was 45.

I just about lost the plot when I hit 30; the realisation of the end of youth, but that was when I actually REALLY began to enjoy life! I discovered THE perfect age is 39. My absolute BEST years ever; 1984 (age 37) and 2010 (age 63) I'm 64 next month,and wouldn't be dead for a million dollars. I savor EVERY day! A young person is anyone 10 years younger than me; 20 is a child. An old person is anyone 10 years older than me.

Hymn to youth.'THE WHO'----- "My Generation" ( "hope I die before I get old")

Answer the question as it is stated ---

Nah, I don't think so, I'm not at all fond of false dichotomies. I often answer the question I want, regardless of what has been asked.

Yeah, you go ahead and laugh at us who died young and powerful while you shit in your diapers, losing all your dignity

Fuck dignity, I'd rather have an undignified life than not exist at all;it's pain and lost marbles I fear.
