My comments:
Everything should have its place, proper place, that is. In other words, every thing, person, tool should have their proper occasion to be useful, productive and comfortable.
Longevity, likewise. A long life enables one to accomplish more. That’s in theory. In practice, I am afraid longevity merely allows most people to live longer.
And that’s not bad, either.
Alright?
So therefore, do what the speaker seems to be doing. Bother not about how long you are going to be alive. Just do what you’re supposed to.
And the rest will fall into place.
