I think living a life which lasts for 250 years would be a nightmare. First of all, keep in mind all the explaining you will have to do. Another thing is that you will not be able to surround yourself with other people without them finding out. Those argument work if you are the only one with the ability to enlengthen your life by about 170 years. This ability seems nice but, in my opinion, life would get boring and irritating. The chance of happening something terrible in those 250 years is much greater than in the span of about 100. So, to summarize, I would never choose the option to live 100 years.

Many people, especially the old ones, want to believe that the past was better. There are many interesting reasons behind this. In my opinion the most persuasive one is that humans remember the good times and forget the bad and unhappy events. Another reason is that even future tellers can’t predict what is going to happen so we don’t know what to expect. Also, old people find the past more appealing because they were healthy, energetic, beautiful and everything felt more dynamic. I think people like the old days more because when you retire there is nothing special to do. The reasons above show why we find the past more colorful.
