How Long Is Long

How long is long 

We live in a society that 
No longer believe in an afterlife 
We, therefore, strive to live as long as possible
Even though, it might be detrimental 
For our or others well- being.
What is the true age of man? I don`t know but
I think when the memory is erased 
When we become a burden, death is not an enemy.

Moody thoughts, Jan. A good brevity piece. Thanks for stirring my thoughts up. I would agree with you that death is no enemy to those who have lost all memory; but also to those who are in constant pain only relieved by meds. AND it is deceptively comforting to some spiritually handicapped souls who refuse to accept that life is eternal and endures after our experience on earth.
