Would You Live Forever??

Yes, please! WHen I was reading Anne Rice's Vampire series I thought then how nice it would to live forever. One huge argument was that your loved ones would grow old and die and you would be left alone. Well isn't pretty much how it is now? You still lose loved ones from time to time. So I am all for it. Now if I could just fine a vampire to make me immortal!

i'm so thankful that i'm still alive but i might say no to living forever. i don't have any idea what would i be doing forever. i wonder how would i look or would people communicate the same way we used to.. hehehe.. funny thought..

You would not believe how many times I've had this conversation because my husband loves books and movies with immortal beings (he's reading Anne Rice right now). Personally, no, I would not want to live forever. It would be way too hard for me. I'm young still and I've already lost more people than I care to in my life and I know it's only going to be harder down the road as I continue to lose people that are dear to me. Saying goodbye is always hard, even if I do believe in an afterlife and that I'll see them again. What would I do if I never had a chance at that afterlife and knew for sure I would never see them again? For me, I think that would be the worst thing ever and I'd really have no reason to live. Then again, the only thing that I would really find fascinating about living forever is being able to experience all sorts of wondrous things, getting to travel, and see what humans create and evolve into in the future. Of course, the way humans are going I'm not sure I'd really want to see what happens 100 or even 200 years in the future.

Like the story of the curse of Cain. Or the curse of the fallen angel Azazel. No I wouldn't want that. UNLESS, I can share my immortality to anyone I want to, like vampire stories! Not, that would be cool!

While there are certain aspects of living forever that would be nice like being able to do things without fear of physical malady. It would however pose many heartbreaking aspects, as you've stated above. Every time you fall in love, make a friend or any other type of relationship you would be stuck knowing no matter what some day your going to lose that person, while you live on. However at the same time if you knew you could live forever imagine the great things you could do for the world. If you were a great scientist or inventor or something along those lines you'd have countless lifetimes to work on perfecting your research. At the same time though the old saying is the good die young so most likely if someone could live forever or did live together it would be a serial killer or dictator or something like that. Just my thoughts.

Dear Sapri10. Seems as though you yourself haven't made a decision. I don't know that I could, either. But then, I see TV documentaries about various catastrophies (natural), and I think 'Hope it happens after I'm gone". The other night on Australian TV they ran a program I had seen before. It was about what would happen if Yellowstone National Park volcanoes erupted. Then there's the possibility of being hit by an asteroid. These appear to be end-of-the-world scenaries. Maybe when they happen we'll all be safely living on Mars or some other planet - oh no, that doesn't appeal either. I think I will give a definite thumbs-down to living forever. Have I, by any chance, helped you reach a decision? (as if you have to...)

i dont even have any idea what would i be doing for the 5years.. what more if i agree to live forever. hahaha.. so my answer is a big no-no.. i love life. but i don't think i can go to heaven in case God will permit us to visit Heaven once in a while as immortal.

A difficult question. I really want to live long enough because there are so many different places in the world to be discovered, but at the same time being old is scary. Imagine you are 200 years old and will need to be helped to walk and everthing. So I think my answer is no, I don't want to live forever

Hiya Sapri, Downside of being able to live forever I suppose a bit like the Films that came out about "The Immortals". If they fell in love with anyone they survived them and would not be able to meet up with them again until they themselves actually by chance happened to die. Don´t think I would want to live forever either with things being like that. Imagine if you really got to love someone and you did not die say for several Centuries and how weary you would be of this World by that time. Would not mind living a bit longer but not like the Immortals did no thanks at least not the way this World is.

of course i won't. i think it's too tired living here without ending. we of course will die :)

No. Have you seen Code Geas: Lelouch of the Rebellion? If you've seen that, you will see how CC suffered because she lived forever.

nah...I think I'll pass...I want to die and see what happens after my life here...

I think it was last month, I joined a group and we have skype chat everyday. This one comes to our topic all of a sudden and everyone have different insights. Some do want to live forever for certain reasons and some don't. I think it was 8 years ago, I was hooked with Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I was thinking that it would be really cool to be immortal. You can do whatever you want, go wherever you want. You have all the time in the world. But things changed. Once you begin to know people and begin to value them. Once the real world issues begins to kick you out from your fantasy world. After the group, I asked the same question to my boyfriend to know his opinion. We have the same thoughts, I would consider immortality only if we are both immortal.
