Why not? If I were to keep living afterwards, things could only go down from there, I guess.

No, I want to live a natural life. Not one with a possible Faustian Deal.

No, because if you only have happiness without any pain or suffering, you're not a dynamic person. You don't learn anything from being happy all the time, as much as we might want to be.

No. That's what one side of being bipolar feels like, and I don't think that's too healthy.

huh I have a conversation card in one of my classroom games that uses this exact question. Did you get it from an ESL book? and 'no' I'd stick with what i've got. Odds are I could get 70 years of almost extraordinary happiness and the peace of mind thati've helped my family and friends stay happy for as long as possible. |

Possibly. I'd have to get it straight in my mind as to whether or not this counted as "suicide."

No I don't think I would. It does sound enticing, but all that happiness and nothing else? It sounds rather boring doesn't it? I mean everyone wants to be happy but 20 years of straight happiness is just unnatural. Angst, drama, pain...those are the things that make life real and to experience them means to make mistakes and learning from them in the future. If I had all that happiness, I would be afriad I wasn't entirely human anymore.

It seems like a long time, but it really isn't. Once you have kids and stuff, time just flies by, and you don't know where it's gone.

i'd rather aim for 50-60 years of the happiness I have now. I couldn't book my death for my early fifties and think my girlfriend and family were going to be okay with that.

Definitely! Even with rising life spans people would be lucky to squeeze out 20 years of perfect happiness.
