No way. I know I will have happiness and fulfillment, and I plan to be here longer than 20 years. If perchance I am not here that long, I will die happy, because I have a great family.
I have to agree with the Broncmeister. I already have happiness: married to the love of my life, two pretty okay kids, a decent career. I also plan on living more than another 20 years. Life gives no garauntees, so I take what comes. I know what pain and heartache are. If I die today, I die a woman who knows happiness, love, contentment, passion, and all else that is good. I've had it for three years and look forward to I don't know how many more years of it, but if it ends today, so be it.

PQ TODAY:[AFTER A LOT OF CIN'S CONFUSION] THANK GOD A QUESTION I
CAN ANSWER!!!!
Nope.....I'll die when I'm meant to die...whether its tomorrow or in 40 years((God forbid!))
I think that everything gets old at some point. Extreme happiness can't be good aaaall the time. It's good to have it stretched out, like 80 years: 20 years extreme happiness, 20 years happiness, 20 years normal, 10 years dull, 5 years unhappy, 4 years very unhappy, 8 months depressed and 4 months misery. All scrambled up like an omelet. :-)
No .... I am actually doing pretty well on the happiness catagory lately!! And I hope to live past 65 ... wanna see some grandbabies!!
