Philosophical argument

In the nature of human interests I think all people should die.  This is not a threat but an interest in the continuation of entropy.  In the history of this planet 100% of all living things have died.  If one were not to it would be unprecedented.  The understanding given by the law of entropy is that immortality is impossible.  All things no matter how old will cease.  Any goal for immortality is therefor ignorant.  But a goal for longevity is not.  Though to simply strive to off death is also ignorant for one must consider the condition of life.  Currently the goal of a long healthy life has not found fault.  Yet those who pursue it seem to occupy all of there tine with this pursuit.  If all time is spent staying alive and fit then nothing is accomplished for those that have good health naturally know its a means not an ends.  Being of a good and fit nature allows other things to be accomplished.  So if all effort is required to simply maintain good form then the point is moot.  There is a successful counter argument to this; If the aim is to enjoy life and obtaining good health does this then all one needs to do is obtain good health.
