isn't odd that normally chinese sayings would ask for long
life?
what if it is a long life of suffering?
suffering in more means than one, not only physical but
mentally.
more often, i see people pray to have a good life of hard work and
play until 60s, then please take me away quickly.
they dun want to go thru the portion of sickness, and being
unwanted by their kids, as well as worrying about pensions and not
being able to enjoy and expensive lifestyle anymore.
