Position:Home>Philosophy> · If you could live forever on earth as it is now, would you? Why or why not?


Question:To live forever you would want the love and also the youth that needs to come with it. WE grow old and to live forever knowing that we will just grow older is not something that I would want to do.
If I knew that I would not grow old and only stay young then that really would not be enough either.
I would want the love of my life to be with me because what is life without the love that comes with it. I would exist but how. Lonely? I might be able to deal with that if I had my youth and money too. without one of them there just is no reason to live.

I would, for things WILL get better

Hell no,there's too much war,pollution,and stupidity in this world.There are too many problems on Earth.In my old neighborhood there were street gangs,drug dealers,gun dealers,and violence was almost every where.So no I wouldn't want to live forever on this Earth.Hell no.

Absolutely not.

When this life is over, I look forward to a different kind of existence...free of taxes, traffic jams, disease, and Paris Hilton.

I don't know what form I will be in, but it will be a form that is free of the confines of this modern world.

not a chance... I can't imagine saying good bye to all the friends i made, and b/c i would be immortal the cycle would never end... I'd rather live a life with my friends and happiness, than live for eternity in sorrow

I wouldn't. After a few centuries, it would probably become boring.

the world now is not such a nice place at all, so i don't think i would want to live forever in this world.

however, my kids would be here and i do so want it to a nicer place so they can enjoy life rather than to be stressed out or struggling most of the time.

i shall live forever, in flesh and spirit.
