One disadvantage of living 200+ years is that time will seem to go faster.
Those that enjoy life will find years and decades racing by like warp speed.
To get an extra hundred years will only seem like a few more weeks.
Consider how slow time went as a child compared to the way it races by as
a fulfilled adult. One year to a 10-yr old child is 10% of his entire
experience. One year to a 50 yr old is 2% of his experience and passes
proportionately quicker. Unless depression or pain is activated, then
time passes slowly. Many people subconsciously put themselves in
discomfort to extend their life experience.
For the self-actualized, years disappear like the clouds of a windy day.
The self-actualized are not disabled, however, about how quickly his life
passes. He just enjoys it.
