Isn’t that the whole point? You can do a lot of things, risks, and still be healthy and existing as long as you can, there’s a point of diminishing returns to everything
You can be 90 and a billionaire like Buffett, I certainly hope to exist as long as he has
Or be Dallas mccarver, or rich piana , Matarazzo. I’m sure Dallas’s family wishes he was here, still alive, I’m sure mike Matarazzo’s son wishes his dad is still alive to take him to school, enjoy the things a son and father are supposed to enjoy, I’m sure Rich’s employees wish he was still alive so they can sponge off of him, the list goes on
Ofc course there is a balance. It's up to the individual to determine the trade offs. A person I work with told me that of course he knows that smoking is bad for him and know with every puff he is taking time off his life but he says that he really, really loves smoking and can't imagine life without it. Me, I'd really like to ride a motorcycle but I'm just too scared. Every person I know that rides consistently has taken a bad spill that has changed their life in some way. If you ride enough it's only a matter of time before you take a spill. So I take a pass.
I know that I do things and have done things that are not good for me. But those things have also allowed me to enjoy life in ways I wouldn't be able to experience. If I was concerned solely about health and longetivity, only eating healthy food, always getting a good nights sleep, avoid all activity that has a risk (including driving a car, the biggest risks most people take), always follow a strict exercise protocol... would stifle my life to the point where it would be unbearable. It's all about trade offs.
