Sad andlong just worsens it. The reason we want to live is because we are afraid of death and we are bound by love, relations and peopel. If we loved noone and noone loved us, we would'nt care about death.

I voted for short and happy of course. but i tried to think of every reason why someone would vote long and sad. All i can think of us maybe they have an important responsability. Or that they are making someone happy by being there. So in some cases, a long and said life would be a less selfish decision.

Long and sad would suck, i feel sorry for these kids who are about 6 years old who can't move at all, and can hardly breathe who are forced to live their entire lives in steel cylinders.
Really.. Is that living? I call it torture

like some people have pointed out, i'd prefer to live a long, sad life if it meant others could live happy lives.

But the question is too straightforward to cover every possibilty. We would need to know what is making this long life so sad. And what is making the short one happy. Is the subject love? or true love? does the long life not have it, and the short one does? Is it personal material gain? in the long life are you poor, and in the short life rich? It could be any number of things, since the question is so general, we obviously have to ask ourselves what makes us, personally happy, because it is different for all of us. That alone makes it impossible to have a good accurate poll. This is more a question that should be answered in our own minds.

but a poll about wether we would rather live long and sad or short and happy would still apply to everyone

In the long life halo was made on PS2 and in the short one you rule the world
