Life: Quality vs Quantity

Would you rather live a long life in which you're in medium discomfort for many years, or a short life in which you die about the time you start to get old?

It's kind of a moot point, as we really don't have the luxury of choosing - unless you count "not committing suicide" as somehow choosing.

I'd like to say it's all about quality. But once you have kids, quantity really is quality, to a large degree. My life has more quality the longer I can live to see my children grow up.

I'm blessed just to have another day!

The real question is:

What is more important - a quality blog, or a blog that has quantity?

Because this blog is SHO NOT about QUANTITY!

somehow it doesn't seem like the discomfort that counts. it's the total quantity and quality of good experiences. whatever maximizes that. the bad shit gets forgotten.
