.I think I really wouldn't want to live 250 and there are plenty of arguments to support it. One of them is  that I wouldn't be capable of watching everyone that I know now die. This fact would overwhelm me so much that I wouldn't probably be able to move on, make new friends, even finding another love. What's more my extended life would have influence on my mentality. It would be hard to communicate with people at, for example, age of forty, when I would be hundred and eighty. My point of view of the world would probably be so different that theirs that they sometimes may not understand me at all. Overall, I wouldn't want to live 250 mostly because I wouldn't be able to find myself in completely different communities, which would make me feel I don't need to live.

People are often scared of the future because of various reasons. One of them is the fact that we always see the past as better because of our childhood and times when we had less responsibilities and were able to meet friends more often. Other is that people are scared of what is unknown, and, the future is always unknown. We can't predict what is going to happen even in an hour. What's more, we think the past is better that the present is that we remember only the things we want to remember, which means we mostly remember the good things instead of those which are bad. In a sum, we think the past was better than the present or the future because we think about our childhood, the good things from the past and we are afraid of the future.
