Don't get me wrong, I love my life, but sometimes I think that the only way I can get up and face each day is because somewhere in the back of my mind I know that this life will end some day.
Anyone else? Weird question, I know.

No I wouldn't. I don't think that human beings are psychologically suited to eternal life on earth in the material world; even in the afterlife where we live for eternity, it's generally believed we will no longer be in a physical body.

Well, I'm pretty happy with my life now, so yes. If I could be immortal, that would actually make me REALLY happy.
I'm sorry you view your own life with such dismay. But maybe you should try believing that what's making you unhappy will end one day, rather than focusing on your life ending one day. Everyone gets a little $hit thrown into their lives, but it's important to realize that that stuff IS temporary, even if you can't see the end of it now. You WILL be happy some day, and that is something worth living for, even if you don't think so now.

You know what? My primary stress in life is retirement.
If I'm going to live for ever then I would be much happier knowing I don't need to worry about it anymore.
Yes, I would do it.

eternity is a long, long time. if i thought that i could accomplish some interesting things, travel, and so on, i'd probably say yes. i might regret it later, but i'd probably say yes. love the question. i really had to think about the answer.

I hope my eternity is with The Lord. If it only gets as good as this, I must have lived another life and been condemned.

Life does not end, it truly begins, and I am anxious for the day I will be with Our Lord in Heaven.

Not with what I have now, but at some point.
