Are "Immortal Seekers" Cowards?

You know its my greatest fantasy, I can live alone for all I care (Am I evil for thelackof emotional attachment withmy family.....) If I am immortal, I will use it as a way to help humanity. all that wisdom and knowledge I can learn. I also want to witness some break through in technology, Like cleaning of dirty rivers, reparing of the ozone layer, colonization of the moon,Mars,Venus and moons of Jupiter. I want to witness the mining asteroid belt,I want to see humans being able to build an artificial planet AKA oversized spaceship. Imagine a spaceship 2 times bigger than the sun. over population problem is solved.

Very true. As much as I wanted to live more. I still never thought of being Immortal. I could not imagine living like Edward Cullen who don't die unless he goes to Volturi's and request them to take his life. And I won't even forget this line from the movie In Time, Henry Hamilton told Will Salas: The day comes when you've had enough. Your mind can be spent even if your body's not

In my teens I read a lot of Science fiction and one story, it was really a book was about a person who had live for centuries by having all his memories transferred from one brain to another. Sometime he lived as a man and another as a woman. It was a very interesting story, i wish I could remember the name. Maybe someone here will remember.

Hi Letran Knight: That's a very interesting question. Though I understand that everything has an end and that eventually I will leave this wonderful world, I feel a little bit worried if I think too much about the subject because we don't know anything about what's next after you die. We just can speculate and live our lifes always thinking about the amazing gift we have in our hands. ALVARO

hi LK

I want to live young forever not because I am afraid to die but because I am a curious person.I want to live long because I wanna see people travel to other galaxies,go to moon as if going to a mall,fly with ease,etc. I also wanna see evolution take place right through my eyes.I wanna see the sun expand.I wanna see how the future looks like. I guess living young forever isn't boring.It is actually fun for me.

hehe Hi there Letran! I think it has been quite a while since i saw you in here... :D For the topic, i say we will never really find answers in a single lifetime, even those who seek the truth and the knowledge all their lives are not even able to find a conclusive answer to what is bothering them. Life and Earth, and even the Galaxy is a mystery. It is slowly unfolding but not for all to see. We are luckier than those who lived before us, we saw what technology is, but our children and their children are much luckier, because they would have a totally different experience than ours... most probably even better than what we could imagine. Seeking to be immortal to witness all of these is not being coward to me, it is more of curiousity. hehe :P

I don't think it would be boring as long as we align ourselves with what is going on as God's plan. Of course, we would have to be able to take care of ourselves rather than depend on society for support. Actually, the only problem I can see is that at some point we would be limited by the mental capabilities of this physical body. In time we would have to make way for greater capacity. Still, it would be a joy to watch the terraforming of Mars. I would love to take part in it. I have a few ideas of my own.

immortal seekers are not coward. i think most people share the similar interest to live a long happy life. it is more of happiness definition that will motivate people to seek for immortality. i also wanna live forever. I hope I can live that kind of life in financially rich condition, good health, good family, and good social life. and i hope i can have many problems that i can solve and will not kill me. problems make our life more interesting and make us learn many things:) without problems, our life will be boring and nobody wants to live a long life in boredom.
