How long will I live, compared to the length of time I have lived. This is something that's been on my mind for some time now, not least from having sadly lost a number of close relatives in recent years.
Let's do a little survey, really simple. Just post
1) Your age
2) Number of years you reasonably expect to have left on this earth, all things considered
Any additional thoughts on the subject of life expectancies are of course also welcome.
My numbers:
1) 38
2) 32
So I expect to have ~45% of my life still ahead of me.
It's odd if I think about it this way: The past 32 years since I was 6 years old seem to have just flown by. And with each passing year, time seems to speed up ever more, so it'll soon be all over, just like that.
Even though I still consider myself to be relatively young, next thing I know I'll be gone.
