Quality and quantity of life

There's a template phrase that older people often say, “Don't die earlier than me.” On the other hand, I'm thankful to understand that it's a word that cares about me, but let them do whatever they want! I have a self that makes me think.
Is it important to live a long time? I did what I wanted to do with all my might, and I immediately wanted to die...
I'm not pessimistic about life. Am I crazy?

Words are just sounds

Long life = good thing
It's not like that, is it? Humans cannot decide whether to live a long time or not. You can manage your physical condition, but since death also occurs when you come into contact with various relationships, I can clearly understand what you said like Sasa-sama.

However, just because you're told that template won't be a problem for you, is it? Words that are nothing more than phonetic words. I learned from the function of my ears, and when I keep listening, the sound disappears completely and completely. I can't even grab it anymore. If you're dealing with that word, it's just that you're doing sumo wrestlers alone. You can leave it alone ^_^

There is no doubt that a person's life is long and short and does not determine good or bad.

Life isn't too long to do it at your best

I was delighted by the cheerful words “I will do what I want to do with all my might.

I'm already over half of my average life expectancy, and I have the impression that I've just finally reached the entrance to work on what I want to do with all my might.

My feeling is that life, no matter how long, is never too long to do what I want to do with all my might.

There is another super famous quote by Katsushika Hokusai, a super famous ukiyo-e artist.

He was very successful as a Ukiyo-e artist (painter), lived a very long time at age 88, and finally said, “At least 10 more years, no, 5 more years is enough. It is reported that he was disappointed, saying, “If I can live 5 more years, I can become a real painter.”

Chaplin asked a newspaper reporter, “What is your greatest masterpiece?” When asked, they always answered, “That's the next work,” and it seems that Zeno Zevrowski, who worked to relieve the A-bomb survivors in Nagasaki while being exposed to the atomic bomb himself, did not stop his activities even when he got old and was in a hopeless state, and it seems that he had a habit of saying “I don't have time to die.”

By all means, please live a really long time and do what you want to do with all your might.

Life isn't length, it's depth, it's breadth

“Life isn't length, it's depth, it's breadth.”

Is it famous in the industry? These are Kaneko Daiei sensei's words.

No matter how long you live until what age, if you die without being satisfied with “I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die yet, I want to live longer,” you may die prematurely.

If you accept death even for a short time and end your life with satisfaction saying “I can pick you up anytime,” it can also be said that it is immortality that surpasses death.

“Even if the petals fall apart, the flowers don't scatter, people will die even if the shape perishes.”

These are also Kaneko sensei's words.

Now, do what you want to do with all your might and go as you please.

Living for a long time or dying soon won't go the way you want.

Maybe life is too short to live for a long time, and too long to die right away.

After all, don't die too soon ~

Hello, Sasano-san.
It's not strange, but it's shallow!
After all, don't die too soon. I want to say that!
Do you have a job where you can risk your life?
If you don't have one, it's a little early to say that.
First, think about how you use the life you received from your parents.
I'll talk about that later!

Live to the fullest! It's great.

As Sasano-san said.

Let's do our best to survive!
Let's do what we want to do with all our might!
It's a wonderful way to live.
The rest depends on longevity.
