☆ Living a long time

昔に比べたらかなり寿命が長くなりましたよね。
最近では長寿番付を公開しないなど
少し話題になっています。
興味深いですが、載せられるご長寿さんには
個人情報など問題があるのでしょうか・・・。

Do you ever imagine what it would be like to
live a long time? These days many people from
the 'first world' countries are living
from the ages of 77 to 88 years old. People
usually live longer if they live in a wealthier country.
Unfortunately, people who live in a third world country
may live from the ages of 35 to 60 years old.
Some people have no desire to live a long life
because of the uncertainty of world problems.
Uncertainty means there is nothing stable about the world.
But, some people, such as myself would like to live
until they are 100 years old! To live until 100 years old
would be very exciting - imagine all the interesting memories
you would have to share with people.
