Am I the only person so far that would actually enjoy living for ever!? If it were impossible for me to die I would do so many crazy things!. I would experience every life style that is possible!. I would live in every country in the world and learn every language fluently, I would want to become an expert in everything and help everyone I meet because I would have acquired many skills after living so long!. I'd never be in a rush to go anywhere so I would enjoy everything around me!. Since life for us is so short I can only focus on a few things and try to make the most of every second, but it really sucks because I like to take my time with everything and do the best job I can!. With unlimited time anything would be possible!. I'd love to live forever!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you live forever, you probably wouldn't live for anything!. A key part of what makes experiences in life so valuable is that life is limited!. If I have an eternity to go see the Great Wall of China, there is nothing really special about going, and certainly no reason to go now rather than later!. Everything else which we find valuable in life spans of 70-100 years would likely lose their value if life is infinite!. Every relationship would get old and burdensome, every activity would lose it's novelty and entertainment value, things which are exciting if you do them once or twice would be very boring when you do them for the millionth time!. So if you had to live forever, I think sooner or later you would not be living for anything, you would just be existing!. It seems kind of weird that so many people wish for infinite life and this kind of existence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I find that question too horrifying to even contemplate! After hundreds of years of mental and physical injuries (loss of family and friends, broken bones,etc!.), I don't believe I could pursue any goals anymore!. The sad story would never have a conclusion, just a continuing erosion of quality!. I prefer the current method of life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
