Recently, I was asked:
If you could live forever, would you? Why or why not?
My answer? Heeeeeeee….ck no! It may sound negative, but seriously, there is no way that I would want to live forever. Sure, there are moments when I think “wow, this is so amazing/perfect/fantabulous, I wish this moment could last forever.” But actually living forever? No thanks, I’ll pass.
First of all, just getting older and older wouldn’t be fun. And I don’t mean turning 40, 50, or even 70. But do I want to be 95? 105? 150 years old? Um, no thanks. Doesn’t appeal to me. But honestly, kudos to the people who keep ticking happily until they are 112. We should bow down at their feet to seek their wisdom and ask how they made it so far.
A friend of mine said he’d like to live forever if he didn’t have to age. Yeah, see, I don’t know about that either. That creeps me out. And in a way, I’d feel stuck, like I wasn’t progressing. Eventually I’d go “Sure [age at the time aging stopped] was great for the first 10 years…but what’s next?”
Anyway it is sliced for me, living forever just doesn’t interest me. What about you? Would you want to live forever? Why or why not?
