All what you listed are basic human activities and bases of our very existence,unless you are suggesting a sedentary lifestyle with no purpose nor goal at all.Sleep is not necessarily for rest but a repair for better metabolic function.
Also, everyday motion and physical exercises makes us live longer than sitting idly and doing nothing.
Just för the records, Nigerians generally don't live up to 70 years.We live the least in the world with the lowest life expectancy at 53.

Life is not fair.

Majority of people start life at 30-40yr old. Because childhood and teenage-hood has already taken 20yrs, and in your 20s you are still figuring life.

Lucifyre:
And to add to that, even the whole idea and talk of legacy and all that, I feel, is often a futile and egoistic attempt to somehow outlive time. That legacy, name, and impact will be washed away by the sands of time as well. 99.99% of so-called legacies will be forgotten, just as the people themselves are forgotten. Eventually everything would be gone.

Out of the hundreds of millions who lived even 100 years ago, how many of their names are remembered today, let alone their legacies? The average human lifespan doesn't even register as a dot on the timescale of the universe—75 years compared to 13.8 billion.

Genuine altruism doesn't concern itself with legacy, because legacy, like life itself, is fleeting. Do good because it is good. Help others because it is the right thing to do, not because your name might survive a little longer in people's memories.

Just live your life the best way you see fit and do what you believe is right, not because of recognition, legacy, or the desire to be remembered, because those too will eventually vanish like everything else. Life is beautiful because it's fleeting.

Thanks for this man. This is wisdom personified

Live in the moment always.

While you are right that life is short (and brutish), all of those exclusions are also part of life and do not exclude from the quality or longevity of life.

Take Sleep, for example, which takes an approximate 20-30% of a person's life, actually contributes a great deal to the quality of life. Without sleep, life would even be shorter. Try not sleeping for 3 days straight, and you may end up in the psychiatry ward. Keep it up for 7 days straight, and you will find yourself on a fast track to joining your ancestors. Sleep should never be demonised. It is part of life; it is the maintenance phase for our body to keep functioning optimally. Also, many life changing event happens while we are asleep, both physically and spiritually.

Time spent schooling or learning a trade is also a major part of life. Most people's destinies are discovered, shaped, and started during this phase of their lives. Hence, the time spent doing these activities is never a waste but a crucial part of life. Many elderly people sit and longingly look back at this period of their life with a certain nostalgia as it constitutes the better or best part of their life to date. So never knock or discount the time spent schooling or learning, it is a vital part of life.

The mistake some of you often make is failure to realize that school, work and sleep are all part of life. School and work are full of fond memories and retirement which according to you is when people have time to live is a period that is full of boredom. Most people start dying once they stop working.

What's the meaning of this write up? So you don't want to do all the stated above?
If you don't want to do those things just bcus you want to live life to the fullest, then you're not living at all.

Na this kind OP's write-up yahoo guys take dey motivate.
Also, school na scam brigade.

Sure, OP means well and his points are worth thinking about.

However, a good advice would be to enjoy the activities we do. Afterall, they are part of life.

My time in education was extremely enriching.

Depending on how high you go in education, time there is part of contributing to mankind.

A lot of research students quietly play big parts in new scientific and technological discoveries and innovative ideas. Even if the prof becomes the face of the work done.

Thank you for your point made, but the op dismissed those activities as what's eating up ones life making it look someone lived a shorter life. Doesn't he know those activities are part of the life we are living

Whatever you have, whatever you acquired in life add no value to you when you're dead.

Just live and let others live.

Those things you mention are all part of life itself

This is so correct... all is well

Life is short

After the first 50, you are just marking time

I saw somewhere that some people have already bought the clothes, cars etc they'll eventually die in

As crazy as this sounds, it's the truth. Also, some of the pictures we'd take would later be used for an obituary. Once again, that's crazy.

Yeah, it's crazy and scary.
Many people do not get to know when they'll take their last bath, eat their last food, take their last pic, tell their most loved ones bye for the last time etc

I'm telling you. That's why they say cherish every moment you spend with people. They may be your last. May God help us.

Very true. My thousand years on this planet earth seems just like yesterday.
