It all depends on how we view life and what we want to do with our lives.
If we are creative we can create much more things when the life span extends and we can learn much more things too. Those who believe in incarnation say that we reincarnate just to learn more or learn the lessons we failed in the previous lives. If things are really so, why not be here as long as it takes to learn what needs to be learned? What is the true purpose of going and coming many times?
Also our urgencies make us get too emotional to really take time to understand our life experiences. Why not take time to enjoy every experience and learn more from it? Is a hectic life better than a more peaceful and confident one?
How about being able to see changes on a large scale? Now we want to know how life started and how we became humans and there does not seem to be any reliable witness of these events. What if the first human had been living until now?
I see more advantages in a very long life than in a short one. Maybe it is because I love learning and searching!
