The lenght of a person's life is already fixed at birth. There are three reasons why you may not be able to finish your lifespan: You may suffer an untimely death in an accident. You may suffer an untimely death in an attack. You may not be able to finish your lifespan due to exhaustion of merit - using up your store of the good karma that keeps this lifetime going. Everyone
is restlessly busy, having nothing upon which to rely. Whether moral
or corrupt, of high or low rank, rich or poor, noble or base, all are
preoccupied with their own work. They
entertain venomous thoughts, creating a widespread and dismal atmosphere
of malevolence. Subversive activities are planned, contrary to the universal
law and the wishes of the people. Shakyamuni Buddha If you are a petty person, people will hate you, and disasters will come to you. Your good fortune and lifespan will be cut short and you will suffer many losses. Lung-shu
Every evil deed use up your store of good karma. If the store of good karma is used up, you will meet sudden death. You were endowed with a human body to think and act like a divine being. If you fail to make spiritual progress in this life, you live a life of meaninglessness; in this case your good store of karma could be used up anytime, and you will meet an early death.
