What If We Have Just 10 Years To Live?

Imagine that God had designed the life of man to expire after only ten years. Try to think about how that can challenge and change our perspective.

Could it be an ethical reflection today?

What if we had only two years to grow through infancy, youth and adolescence into adulthood. What if we marry and have had our partner for less than five or six years. What if we have ever had a career of three or four years. What if the last two or three years of our lives are accompanied by ageing.

I think it is a debatable point because most people get nearly ten times as much life.

An almost 100-year life should never be considered a curse, but maybe self-satisfaction sometimes makes us take life for granted. If we lived ten years, with a 100-year life perspective, we would certainly not waste one drop or one breath of life. If we had ten years, we would certainly do what we can never do if we are dead.

If we add the same logic to our nearly 100-year lifespan, should we say why don't we get a thousand? Even a hundred years is miniscule compared to nine hundred more. But as we truly know, one hundred years is more than enough, especially if we have chronic pain and our hope is to meet Jesus. We suffer a loss if we lose our parents and grandparents, just as our children and grandchildren suffer the same suffering. Where life is, pleasure and pain is.

Life has always been short even in the olden days and dark ages.

What if our lives lasted only ten years. If we had that in mind, we might be more present, more grateful. Of course, an almost 100-year life means that we are also rewarded for diligence and perseverance.

Life is a sprint, and it is a marathon.

Perform every step with a goal and every mile with balance.

Live life with gratitude, because time is short, and with perseverance for the long term.

Be present for yourself and with others, make the most of the present.
