"Maybe we all have the same amount of fun..."

This quote was shared with me by a gentleman who had a conversation with one of his friends regarding death. I did not ask about the top came about, but the core of the conversation was about people who have died young who had a lot of fun vs. some people who have long but uneventful lives. One argues that people who live on the edge, takes risks, etc etc die younger because they get into more trouble. The other quickly responded with "well don't say that! Because if that's the case, then I'm gonna die soon!". The conversation ended with well...maybe we all have the same amount of fun so it all evens out, no matter how long you live. Tee-hee-hee.

I know death is a morbid topic. But I am curious. How many people actually want to live till they're 90 or 100? In Neil LaBute's, "Fat Pig", when Tom said "we're all gonna age" and Carter quickly replied with "Not me!I hope I'm a goner before then". I personally I don't want to hooked up to a bunch of tubes or wires and have the only thing move are my eye balls and be bedridden for years. That would be no bueno for sure. But then again I don't want to die young either by some fatal accident like death by Jimmy Choos.

I will say this though, when I go, I would like to go peacefully in my sleep...unlike the screaming passengers in my car. lol (Although, I have to admit I borrowed that quote from something I read once).

How do you know that you'd had enough fun? Or just the right amount of fun? Or not enough? I doubt anyone would disagree with the last one. I guess the whole point of it is that we don't know. "Life is like a box of chocolate...." Oh!!!!Speaking of chocolate I have some, I will go indulge myself a bit for the time being. Until next time, look both ways when crossing the street...
