My thoughts?

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?
View all responses

Are we really saying that living a long life is a mere concept? I guess it could be, but it just sounds weird. First of all, it wouldn’t be considered a mere concept, if you were born with a disease or disability.

I looked up the definition of concept, but it only made things worse. But, as I’ve committed to answering these prompts without being flippant, I’ll give it my best shot.

Since the prompt is only asking what my thoughts are about this whole concept thing, ummmm… living a long life is a great concept, I guess. In truth, only God knows the length of my life, and nothing I do or don’t do will change that outcome.

I suppose the concept of being a decent human being is also good, if you’re a decent person. But, what good is that concept if you’re an arse, by nature?

I can honestly say that I am unable to really come up with any life altering thoughts, regarding long life being a mere concept. I will be making every effort to live a long life, but it’s not really in my hands, is it? We can do everything right, but still accidentally get hit by a bus. Concept just flew out the window.

Life, itself, cannot be placed in a box, given boundaries, and/or assigned any wonderful concepts… it doesn’t work like that. There are no guarantees, precautions, or conceptual guidelines that keep reality at bay.

Besides, I can’t personally think beyond the day in front of me, let alone focus on what my earthly old age might look like. Rather than thinking on the concept of a long life, how bout we just do the best with what we have, and leave the rest of it to God.

Now eat your cookie…

Thought #1 – If we don’t actually use all of our brain, what does it do all day long?

Thought #2 – Whose idea was it to create the penny, anyway? All we ever do is lose them under seat cushions, or hide them in our car consoles with all the lint, hair, and sticky candy wrappers.

Thought #3 – I want to live in one of those Tiny Homes, with lots of little nooks and recessed windows for growing plants.

Thought #4 – I wonder what my soon-to-arrive grand daughter will look like?

Thought #5 – Wouldn’t things be different if all conflict resolution had to be done while everybody lays with their head on each others stomachs, like we did as kids? All it takes is one tiny giggle, and then the peace talks can begin!

Thought #6 – What if politicians had to do their whole campaign in Pig Latin?

Thought #7 – If the heart is simply an organ used for pumping blood, why does it feel physical pain from emotional hurt? Or, why does the heart flutter and skip all over the place, from just one kiss?

Thought #8 – If love is supposed to be free, why does it cost so much?

Thought #9 – If I laugh at my own jokes, do I still need an audience?

Thought #10 – Lack of gluten and lactose has to be the cause of most wars in one way or another, I think.

Thought #11 – I have to come up with 4 more thoughts, without being irritable.

Thought #12 – My oatmeal won’t make itself, will it? I didn’t think so.

Thought #13 – The pumpkin fields are bursting with color, right now. While they’ve a ways yet to go, their bright orange color can already be seen from the highway.

Thought #14 – I can’t believe that Creed is nearly done with his degree! Only one class left, I think.

Thought #15 – I’m so glad that God captures all of our tears, only to replace them with oceans of His love!

Tomorrow’s Friday! We’re almost there… hugs
