Ever think about the question that would you like to live forever if given the choice because this seems the biggest regret that life is too short?
This is a very simple yet very complicated question. So it is a very simply complicated question. The thought of living forever and having no fear of death, no actual of time seems like an alien belief. The clock ticking will not mean anything anymore. The days passing will mean nothing. The concept of time, new year coming all this will mean nothing much.
But then again, what would change in my life perspective and my mentality if I knew for sure that I am going to live forever. Would I disconnect or reconnect to everyone I love, would I be ready to watch them die with time and would I have the courage to stay beside every one of my loved one go away?
This brings the complex question in mind whether it would be meaningful to live when the concept of life loses one of its key parts; that it WILL END. I think the reason that life can end anytime anywhere makes it special, makes it a gift because it holds value only because we know for a fact that it will go away. I mean trillions of souls don’t even get to live.
If you think about it that way, it is quite a miracle that I, you and all of us made it to breathe and still live. But if somehow time were to cease only for you or me, and rest all would move on, then would this gift suddenly feel like a curse?
We would watch people, empires, countries vanish, the earth would re invent itself again and again, this would break up the mere thought of how we have to cherish life. I would not be able to cherish life again if I would be to live forever.
Life being something that ends suddenly makes it more worthwhile, makes it precious because we humans are hard wired to love something that is to be taken away from us. Our bodies would wither away, our names forgotten, our life nothing more than a distant memory within a few years and when this happens, then- nothing. And this is supposed to be good somehow.
Suppose this does not happen, suppose life doesn’t end, suppose life goes on only for you. I would not be caring what time it is? I would never have to worry about death and redemption, I would never have to worry about relations, I would run away to some weird place every few years, I would form new relations and break them as easily as I made them. I would be kind to some, I would spend as if there is no tomorrow. I would make just enough money to live off the next day, never save because I know that it will actually never be enough.
I cannot save for eternity. I can only do one thing and that live today till forever. But that is also very exhausting, I would someday get fed up of it, the earth would feel small, then I think after I have been to every place on earth, had taste of every kind of woman, been to all pleasures this world has to offer, I would wait for other worlds to terraform maybe help in doing so and go to those worlds.
After this world is destroyed within itself I would feel the need to go to other worlds universes, galaxies and thus spend my never ending life in the pursuit of this never ending universe, and check which one of these is true.
Maybe at some point I will reach the end of the universe or maybe someday my life will cease to exist as well.
That is my answer. I think my hunger for more will always win so
YES
I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE FOREVER. PEOPLE DON’T MEAN TOO MUCH TO ME. THIS LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT WE AS HUMANS CAN GET TO EXPERIENCE.
