Everyone in my invented universe can decide how long they want to live for in their current lives. The trio of characters who were around at the beginning of the universe itself, and therefore have lived the longest, are the most compassionate and understanding of those they meet even despite, or perhaps because of, living through many harrowing experiences [a catastrophe that affected the entire solar system, accidentally reenacting Atlantis on one of the most recently populated planets at the time, among others]. They've gone so far as to devote their own lives to making sure that the people they encounter have the happiest lives possible. That doesn't mean that the painful experiences or suffering they went through is noble or 'necessary' [a concept that I find abhorrent], it just means that they know full well how hard it is to lose everything they know and love, and want to provide for others as much as they can.
