Say that you are alive, but comatose. You will never wake up and are imprisoned in a dream where everyone tortures you and hates you.
Two options: Live like this or die like Terry Schiavo.
"Live Long And Prosper" doesn't always WORK.
Discuss: Is this still a polite saying?
Does "Live long and prosper" have a place in our society?
I don't think that's what the greeting refers to. It is a generic greeting like "Shalom", "Aloha", "Salaam", or "ciao", all of which can mean "greetings", "farewell", or "peace be with you".
To wish someone long life, happiness, and prosperity is a very kindly wish for a person's well-being.
