If you could exist forever would you want to? Remember it is not for a thousand years or a trillion years but forever! you can never cease to exist. What you choose it? even a 1000trillion years is a dot on the timeline of forever

No, I don't think so. I often wish I didn't have to worry about time slipping past. I have so much I'd like to do, and since the universe is always changing, I cannot imagine *ever* being bored.
Now, if the universe itself ceased to exist at some point, I suppose I would too, even if I were immortal. If I didn't cease to exist but was just left there by myself with nothing at all to do... THEN I'd be bored.
But otherwise, no way. Things are always too interesting, and there is *always* something new to see, some new problem to solve, or something old that still needs attending to.
If I had literally "all the time in the world," I don't see how ennui could ever set in. One of the big reasons I get bored now is because I get frustrated -- I see things I'd like to do or change, and I know I don't have the time.

Your knowledge and intelligence should grow with the years and in doing so you would need a plan or goals and not be too concerned over perfection or a time line. Boredom could happen, but your intelligence would recognize that you need new stimuli.

Our finite minds are locked in a moment of time, and we attempt to protract the present out to meet the infinite... yet if we indeed HAD that chance to search out our passions to their end, to learn beyond any comprehension, to love immeasurably, and to pick up or lay down any task or hobby my heart desires and see it thru to fulfillment, how could that possibly be boring? Use the moments you have NOW in the same way!

Depends on my condition of existence.
As a human being with physical deterioration? no i'd rather die within a century.
With unconditional health and youth, maybe 500yrs.
As a god or spirit or idea, yes, i would like to be immortal.

Absolutely it would bore me. I'm already bored. So I would not willfully choose it. I've already spent millions of years not existing, and had far fewer problems than during my few decades of existence.

i am going to exist forever, death is but one more change...no one on this side knows what is on the other side reallly and 4sure, birth was a change that brought us her from wherever we were before. the only constant in the entire cosmos and all dimentions is Change. our conciousness lets us know only what we need to know for now and we don't need to know that apparently.

I think that it would be cool becuase you would always have the opportunity to reinvent yourself in diffferent countries, and in ancient times, think of the legend you could have made yourself, and you could influence so many things that happen through time.
