      Only is a year is still 365 & 1/4 days, a day is still 24 hours and an hour is still 60 mins

      Wouldn't this exasperate the problem of overpopulation, though?

      I don't know many people who wouldn't pull their own plug well short of 1000 years, but I'm thinking there are fundamental cellular degeneration issues that will prevent us getting much past 120, and the resources required to keep one person alive (much less in reasonable health) that long will make it cost-prohibitive.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      At my current rate I probably wouldn't make it over 30. However once school gets out I think it'll be back up to a good ol 75 or so.


      Starry starry night, paint your pallet blue and gray,
      Look out on a summers day,
      with eyes that know the darkness of my soul.

      Why would someone want to "pull the plug"? Existing is infinitely more interesting than not existing.

      I suppose, until "not existing" is the only thing you haven't done.
      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems.
