I heard something about the show earlier while I was driving and as I was prep’ing for dinner just started to look it up. As I was doing so, I found another movie, Living, that I have been wanting to watch again.

As I added Living to my watchlist, I put this to play. I had very little idea of what exactly to expect. Earlier what I recall from having heard on the radio was that it was a documentary on people in different parts where they were living much longer and more vibrant lives. How can you pass on learning more . . . .

The show begins with the disclaimer that it is for entertainment and, I forget exactly the term they used but it was in the line of, “informative” only. Anyone making any serious life choices should be talking / discussing with the health care specialist before making any decisions. That to me was a good sign. A very good sign indeed.

Needless to say, I watched all the episodes in a single stretch. It is very well made indeed.

But I wonder . . . . . is the goal to live a long and vibrant life? How long we live is not really something that we control. But let’s say we were able to control how long we live – would we want to live to be 200? Maybe. But I feel if we were to live to be 200, “living” would take on a completely different idea.
