It does not make sense to me why people would want to live beyond 50 years old, especially since health problems start becoming more frequent around that age.

Which makes me ask: Why do people wish to live long beyond the age of 50?

The fun answer is that you will find out when you get there. And what you find, will scare the crap out of you.

    Nope. No point telling you. It's something you need to experience for yourself.

    Any words I try and attach to it would be dismissed by you, right up till the moment decades from now when you will say "Oh shit!!!".

    Are you god himself? 🙄

    Any concept can be expressed using words.

    Which make me ask you to do just that.

    It's not really that complex to drop being vague for no reason, and answer directly.

    Otherwise, your words are equal to nothing because it doesn't express any ideas in the real world.
