i don't... certanly don't... even if it could be a great thing because you can get to see and learn a lot of great things, you have to see also all the people in your life die, everything passes near you, life death misery, and you have to take all that as it comes... and imagine how is it for a poor person to live forever... no, no, forever is a scary thing...one life is enough for me...

You know, I used to be almost certain that living forever was a curse. But as I thought about it a couple days ago, I wondered. True, I see where you're going with "you have to see everyone you ever knew die, you see the sun explode, the Earth die around you," But really think about. If you live forever, an eternity, an infinity, then you will at one point stop crying, stop being sad, and everything. Because that's how forever works. Eventually, new life would come, and everything begins again.

I do,, it's a curious prospect,,
But that may simply be my impulse speaking through, and really, who can say if living forever is wonderful if no one has ever experienced it before?
More than living forever, what matters is living full.

Yes, of course, but only if I have the continued option of saying quits (suicide) whenever I want.
Jesting apart, I think that we believe the certainty of death makes our life pointless.... but the greater truth is that deathless life can be a bigger curse, because no deadline means nothing to do right now... nothing to do is one of the worst ways a life can be led.

Those who create art are eternity. To be infinite there is no other way.
edit: I hope you understand my written words.
