Life is a precious gift from god and should be cherished more than anything in this world. In life a person may die at any given moment and from anything. The answer for the topic is unanswerable; there is not an ideal age to die. Normally a religious person would say when a person has completed his mission in life then god will take them. People die at all ages, from birth to children, teens, and adulthood. This is topic is dependent upon the individual and their view of life and how they are living it.
In society the ideal age to die is when a person is old, probably somewhere around their 80s. Most elderly usually does not have as much pressure compared to when they were younger, have children, grandchildren etc. basically having a happy life. But taking it from their prospective, old people are still people, they opinion on death is the same as everybody else. No one in this world will want to die, unless mentally disturbed individuals. Everyone knows eventually they will die; the society setting up an ideal age around the 80s makes a lot of people feel great at first knowing that they have a long way to go before dying. But as we know, time flies, and sooner or later we will eventually become old and have no choice but accept the fact we’re all going to die.
Even during life threatening situations, children and women are usually taken to safety first. It is simple, children has not experienced life yet compared to the elderly who has experienced everything. Obviously when we ask people at the age around 80s and 90s, if they lived a happy life and is ready to die, they will probably say no. The society we live in shouldn’t picture that age as an ideal age to die, because when we actually do reach that age we wouldn’t want to die. There is beginning and end for everything, but we don’t know when and we shouldn’t either.
The reason why we don’t have a meter running above our heads telling us when we’re going to die is because that way we can be happy. Knowing when we’re going to die only scares us, therefore it is wrong for the society to set such a rule, scaring people into believing that they will die somewhere that age is wrong and unjust. For example, would you tell a dying patient of their illness if you’re a doctor? Some will say yes, some may not. Doctors usually tell the family before telling patients, and then it is up to the families if they will want notify their loved ones on their illness. Not telling someone when they’re going to die actually makes them live longer some say. People will usually be upset if they know their time is limited in this world, fearing it each day, thus causing them to die sooner than they will if they haven’t found out.
