Would you like to live forever?

Post Reply New Topic

I could really go for an extended life of a few centuries, but forever seems awful.

No, possibly not, even if it´s an intriguing idea. But after 50 years, you would naturally grow tired of living. I say naturally because I believe that we are mortal and have such short lives for a reason. Can you imagine the situation when you have tried everything in the world, been everywhere, you are incredibly tired of living and yet you CANNOT DIE no matter how you try? It would be dreadful! It would make you depressive and full of pain. You´d end up trying to die various ways - with no results. So if somebody asks me if I would like to be immortal, then I am going to say: "NO".

Not really and only if I could grow old and then get young again and start over.

I would not.

This life has been hard for me. To go forever doesn't interest me. I think I'll just run through the factory warranty on this one.

That being said, my belief is that I am going on forever.
And not the usual reincarnation skit.
My essence continues on. This is just one sideshow.
The next existence probably won't be anywhere near earth and may just as likely be not in 'living' form as it is likely to be some form of life.

I don't have an exact understanding why I am on this journey..
a learning experience?
a voyage with an end goal?
a punishment and/or reward being served by puppetiers?

I was in existence before, am now, and will be again.
There are better times elsewhere and elsetime and there are worse ones too. My only 'wisdom' is that this is the case for myself, it is a knowledge that is plain to me as is the passing of time.

My essence continues on.

But back to the one I'm in right now - - forever?.... no thanks.

And please excuse me everyone, I did not mean to derail the train of thought in this thread. I was intrigued by the subject and really do enjoy hearing all of your views on it.
