Do You Really Want to Live Forever?

No not at all, I don't want to live beyond 60-65. I don't want to experience old age and depend on other for everything.

No,I don't want to live forever,but if it is my destiny,I will not question it.I will make the best and the most in my life.I will not search for the fountain of youth.If I'm destined to live forever maybe there is a purpose.I will not be afraid to witness all the changes and meet new friends if that is my destiny.

I would like to have that experience, if Im to live forever, then I will plan making friend among the next generation in their early years so that if my current friends passed on, at least I will have new friend around. Think that will be lot of fun for me. LOL

Depends on whether you can get older without actually getting old, if you know what I mean. A couple of hundred years of infirmity would soon lose its' attraction.

If all my family and friends were gone, I'm not sure I'd want to stick around.

well.depends on if you really are happy to be with hang with those young people i think. if you have a happy life you would like to stay as long as you can,right? what if you feel tired of the life...maybe around 60 years old,you'll feel enough. life is life....sometimes you can not control it,and just accept... but dont think too silly to be around the people who are young or old... cheers

I wouldn't want to live forever but I would like to be in my children's and grandchildren's lives for as long as I am able to enjoy it with them. If I am sick and ailing or a burden to them, then what is the fun or purpose in that? A fountain of youth? No, I don't think so. I think we would run out of things to do and to amuse ourselves after a fashion. Of course, with the new things coming out all the time it might be fun to take a vacation to the moon or something. But where would all the people live? Interesting question with many different directions to go. I would not want to live forever for whatever reason. I'm tired alot now and I am only in my 50's!! lol

I read your comment and all of the responses and wasn't going to respond, but changed my mind. When I was a junior in high school, World War II ended and several veterans came back to finish high school and get their diploma. We had two teachers, just out of college that joined the teaching staff that year. They were probably 22 or close to that age and a couple of the veterans were trying to date them. Remember, we were sixteen or maybe seventeen years old at that time and we couldn't understand what those vets saw in "those old ladies". So everything is relative. When I was 45 or 50 years old, I thought it would great to die young and have a beautiful or handsome corpse. I didn't want to get old and look like those old men that walk the streets with a cane and have to be helped up and down stairs and things like that. Well, let me tell you something. When I was sixty I thought it would be great to live to be 70, I'm 79 right now and would like to live another 10 or so years. Time passes so fast and when you look back you wonder where it all went. I don't believe in re-incarnation, so I figure when your time comes, that's it, your done. I had a great aunt who spent the last 15 years of her life in a nursing home, she was blind and deaf, she was just short 35 days of living to 100. Nobody would want to go through that. The common saying is "keep on top of the grass", my only concern is leaving my wife to fend for herself. I know my three sons and their wives will take good care of her though. Oh yes, 80 comes up in March. So when the good Lord calls, we will go!

Hello! I know I can't live forever but I want to live beyond 100 years to experience the changes occurring in the world.Now If God desires I must complete the century in another thirty years.Now I am getting ready for the old age.thanx.

Hi,sorry for late response,I am always busy for the Easter product.This is a funny topic,I really want tp live forever,but it is impossible,so,i hope I can be health when I live!Thanks!!

Modern living makes our life shorter than we expect. Compared to the food that our ancestors we are eating, our foods nowadays contained preservatives that can caused different diseases that can lessen our life span. Everyone wants to live forever. So that they can still accomplished the things that they want to. If I would be ask by that question, ofcoures I will be more than willing to grab that kind of oppurtunity. Living forever means staying with your love ones forever. It means you'll be spending beautiful moments with them. But I think that is impossible thing to happen. But I wish that it will happen.:-) happy posting!

I've thought about that more than once before. I'd like to live a very long life, but only if it were a fairly decent life. I mean more along the lines that I would like to have a family and be fairly well off monetarily. I always tell my bf that I want to be with him forever, and I truly mean it. I finally found "the keeper" which is him. What intrigues us more than growing old with each other is staying young forever. The legendary vampire way is one that sounds most intriguing, but only as "vegetarian" ones that hunt animals not humans heh. But, of course this is only a mere fantasy, an interesting concept though. I still would like to live with him for as long as possible.

dear we pray from GOD that give s lived long the life is gift of GOD and when he want he take that when he remain on the earth he remain it i think you are hindu and i am muslim first thing i told you that our prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMAD SALY LALAHO VALAY HI VASLAM (PBUH) HIS LIFE IS 63 years of old that is the person GOD to much loved him GOD saya that if you passed our life from 63 years the next lfe is for u a bonus life thank you

Your atatement is somewhat in contradiction to what the Insurance companies are basing their sales strategies on. In good old days longevity was by chance and if one could say so, genetics. So, we did have people living for 100 years or more. I would say they had a cleaner and a less corrupt, less stressed world to live in. So the longevity was worth it. Today it is meaningful to long to live only as much as you are needed in this world- to finish off your responsibilities.

Yes. If my friends, colleagues, relatives to get this opportunity, I a m ready to live for ever. Otherwise, whom should I interact with?

Unfortunately, you are quite wrong in your assumption that life expectancy is shorter now than it used to be. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to suggest that people as a whole used to live longer than they do now. You say "based on the bible and others" but the Bible, alone, has been proved to suffer from inconsistencies when it comes to chronological accuracy. The fact is that life expectancy, wherever medical, anthropological and archaeological evidence is available, has been on the increase due to medical and dietary advances. Life expectancy is a statistical figure. It doesn't mean that, because a few individuals in isolated societies have been shown to live well beyond 100 years that life expectancy is therefore more than it is now. Even if we were to assume that the extreme ages quoted in the Bible were accurate, they still only refer to individuals who were considered outstanding in their day. Provided I were in good health I don't see a problem with living longer. I would be quite happy to make new friends, so I would certainly not be alone amongst strangers.

No I do not want to live forever. I am not sure I want to see the future and I certainly do not want to live through the future I think might be coming. I do not think it will be a fun time. Also there is the problem of the body aging. You can feel as young as you like but you really notice your body's age from 50 onwards. Living a long life in pain is not my idea of fun.

Where on earth did you get this information that people used to live longer. As far as I know the earliest real records we have are from Eqypt were we know that some people such as Rameses the Great lived into their 70's but general life expectancy was around 50 to 60. Of course there have been people in the past who have lived to over a 100 but they were very much the exception whereas today it is not uncommon in the western world. I would not take any notice what the bible says it is a notoriously unreliable historic document. If I recall correctly it claims that Methuslia lived to be 900. Yes I'm sure he did!! If we are discussing life expectancy you take the average life not the few exceptions and I think you will find that at least in the UK that is now higher than it has ever been

Well ever since I was a young adult, I had a fascination with vampires, and quite frankly was starting to scare my parents (ha ha - too much wearing black). I just LOVED that idea of not aging at all, living through history, just being there at the most amazing events, to say, "I was there...and I didn't drink blood!" lol. But hey, I like your idea, that would be an amazing gift. Granted, some people would think of it as a curse, and some people MAY get tired of it, and seek a way to kill their selves, out of boredom, loneliness, who can say? STAYING young though, would have to be a part of the bargain, because yeah, don't think our bodies could naturally sustain the high life expectancy.

No, I definitely wouldn't want to live that long. Yes, it's a challenge but seriously, when somebody reaches 80 and his/her health is not so good then that person will become a burden for the family. I don't want to be a burden for my family! I want them to have their own life, to be happy and enjoy them. If I can't take care of me anymore, then I'd rather die than be a burden for all my loved ones.
