Would you rather have a short great life or a medium long life?

The question is in the title. But the condition for the short life is that you would have to end it by suicide.
I would choose the medium long life. Commiting suicide is so difficult and the desperation you feel is so horrible. For me it will take a lot of pain to overcome SI. Sadly I am pretty sure this pain will come.

The medium long life. I'm guessing 'medium' refers to an okay but not great life. I guess I can deal with that, as that was what my life was like as a teenager, it wasn't the best but I wasn't desperate to ctb back then so it was manageable.
I think I would struggle to overcome the SI, and it would be awful if I actually enjoyed life and had to ctb.

I think the short great life, I'm not so scared of suicide or death if it isn't painful and I'd rather have a life that's really fun but ends prematurely than a stretched out life that's a bit boring

The short great life, definitely. What's the use of a long life if it's mediocre ?

 

[Pookie]

Short, great life for me. I should've died at 27 with my first suicide attempt anyway. And I didn't have a great life before that either. So maybe no life would've been better than any life at all.

Short great life.

Short great life.

I rather not be born at all. I wish I was aborted.

 

[PaxAmerica]

Probably the medium long life because I am human and we fear death

 

[WornOutLife]

I would choose the medium long life.
The short life sounds awesome but I just can't ctb for now. I'm really a coward!

 

[BlankUser]

I would have rather never been born at all.

A great life?

 

[LakatosDiogenesz]

Short/great. The average life is worse than death.

 

[Some1's_Wasted_Fetus]

Short and great. Mediocre life is equal to bad if you want to ctb because of the mediocrities of life

 

[nebulaz]

I'd rather have a medium, even short life like humans were meant to have. Of stimulation, creation, and discovery which will be passed down to future generations.

The body degenerates with time. Cells stop being able to reproduce. Every single cell executing every single function will die and malfunction. We are stagnating in our fear of impermanence.

Short, i also rather would like to eat less of tasty things than much of averange stuff just to get fed up. Or have 6 bottles of cola remake bullshit instead of 1 bottle of original coca cola. Same goes with chocolate, etc.

Play gta remake shit instead of rockstar games gta?

 

[RedHarlequin]

Damn, medium life sounds like a dream

 

[vita min]

Medium long life would be amazing. If I were at medium or even below average right now I would be so happy.

 

[suicideseeker]

Short and great would be worth living

 

[return2dreamland]

short great life ftw
my life would be greatly improved if i had a medium/okay life but i honestly don't like the thought of living for a long time
