a shorter life not be more favourable, assuming the person was going to heaven? Similarly with babies and little children that die, is it not best that they go back to heaven? What is the advantage to having a long life, particularly if a person has a chronic illness, depression, or whatever for their entire life?
What about Job, he lived his life fully for God until Satan asked permission to tempt him. After Job did not abandon God, he was then blessed with a long life, more children, wealth, etc. Job, I doubt, would have ever thought of sinning against God as God was pleased with his life, hence I doubt his additional years were given to him to be forgiven.
However, if Job had to live his additional 70-80 years ill, covered in sores, as a beggar, possibly his wife dead, alone - how could this have been a blessing? Numerous people around the world have this type of existence every day of their lives.
