Answer:

Paradox is the literary device used in the sentence above.

Explanation:

The term "paradox" means "contrary to expectations, existing belief". It is a statement which appears to be a contradiction, but when investigated may be proved to be true. In this case the contradiction has to do with the fact that the speaker asks the addressee not be too long but, at the same time, he/she promises to wait for him/her all his/her life. Waiting for someone all your life will be long for sure. That's the contradiction.

You walk into the school wondering what you should eat as a snack. You walk past many healthy and unhealthy snacks. But now you have to choose of what kind you want. Students attending schools with vending machines face this problem everyday: healthy or unhealthy. In my opinion, schools should offer healthy vending machines because students would have a healthier snack choice, it would lower obesity rates, and students would be able to realize of what is a better choice of food for their body.
