        Not necessarily, living longer could be at odds with experiences like sky diving or bull running.

          Are you saying that it’s all about how long we live? If so, I disagree. I think it’s about how -much- we live.

            I don’t think that, but saying ‘the purpose of life is to live’ implies more life is more better.

                    I would define more living or truly living as living the Good Life. What that looks like is the fundamental question of philosophy, but I think a component we haven’t touched on yet is helping others. I don’t think we should help other people because it gives us a happy experience, but because it fulfills who we ought to be.
