The Weight of More Time
from On Low Heat · host On Low Heat
A casual conversation with a friend turned into a question I couldn't stop thinking about — would you rather live to 100, even if the last 30 years meant illness and depending on others for almost everything? Or would you choose a shorter life, but on your own terms?There's no right answer here. But somewhere between those two options lives a deeper question about what we actually value — independence, dignity, time, or something harder to name.In this episode, I'm just thinking out loud. No conclusions, no lectures — just an honest reflection on quality versus quantity, and what it really means to live well.
