I would choose immortality in a heart beat. Yes I know that seeing all your friends and foes go would seem sad. But you’ll get knew ones, young ones that can keep up with you for 15 or so years of your immortality. You can learn every language over time, master every skill, see every part of the world. Then maybe travel through space. Ship doesn’t need much life support cause you can’t die anyway! After you have seen all that is to be seen, loved all that is to be loved, learned all that there is to learn and lived all that there is to live then you will be in a position that no other could ever imagine. You could be a super hero. Not the super hero of the comic books (you could have a cape if you wanted though, I think I would cause capes are cool) but a super hero to the hearts and lives of all mankind. You would bring to the table a life of experience that no one would ever dream of. You could come up with cures to countless diseases, your research wouldn’t be ended after 50 years from health problems you could see your idea all the way through until it is complete and saving millions. You could guide people, inspire them and give them hope. With your view of the events from a couple of thousand years you would be in a position to tell the world “you will come through this you always do” It would be a fantastic journey albeit a hard one full of pain and sorrow. Most of your life will be lived alone. But I would just have to do as the Phantom of the Opera song suggest “Learn to be lonely, Learn that life can be lived, life can be loved, alone”
So yes yes I would choose immortallity
I’d choose eternity.
I don’t mind losing friends and ‘beloved ones’ -don’t have many of those anyway-. I don’t want to be a hero or a leader. I just want to see things change and record history.
Don Cornelius used to say at the end of every Soul Train, “I hope you all live a million years, and that I live a million years minus one day, so I don’t have to know all you wonderful people passed away.”
I share the sentiment. I’ll take a temporary existance, thanks.
If I could I would choose to die a natural death hopefully while sleeping with no pain and just after I’ve had my favourite banana and vanilla icecream milkshake in the evening after the Ultimate Fighting Chamionships have just finished and after I could kiss everyone goodbye and tell them how much i luv them and whether they had a messeges to pass onto any other passed away people.
Maybe that’s not a good idea as I wouldn’t really be able to get back if they replied. naa leave that out. I’de just stick to the banana milkshake & the UFC.
There is a plant species that grows in North America that is immortal. It’s been growing since the thaw of the last ice age. And cancer cells are true immortal cells also. There is a man who is going to give 5 billion dollars US to fund research for the key to immortality. One man in an alchemy book I read live to be 120 by drinking morning dew distilled 100 times. That was a recent alchemist.
woo hoo first one to answer!
