Would you want to?

09-09-2009, 08:53 AM

I was asked a question the other day and at first it caught me off guard because i honestly didnt know what to answer at the time. But heres the question

"Would you want to live forever if you could?"

At first i thought hell yea. but then i realized. you would outlive all your friends, families and even their next generation. I thought it would be very depressing and lonely to live for that long. What would you guys say to that question?

I have thought of this much.
I would want to live forever. I want to see how the world advances in technology and knowledge. I want to see how the humans of earth slowly discovers the universe. I want to see if we will ever make contact with alien species, like in Star Trek. I want to see how fantastic machines we will be able to build. I want to see everything. If possible, I would want to see the unending history of earth through my own eyes.

I want to live forever, who wouldn't... I wouldn't be depressed at all, idc as long as i got immortality. you just make new friends every new generation this way you meet all kinds of people. Yeah and i want to see the future technology.

Ninja of Cao · 09-09-2009, 10:24 AM

So, shortly said; I want to live forever.
I don't know what I want, to be honest. God chooses whenever we will live or die.
Yeah, sure I want to live forever. As long as I can be young forever.
I want to live forever... AND KILL EVERYONE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!

Why would you be depresses when your friends and family dies as long as you have the power of immortality.

09-09-2009, 10:50 AM

Because what if people dont exist past a certain time yet you do? Kind of like I Am Legend without the disease spreading crap. But just think..if you were immortal eventually people would leave this planet either by technology or just die out. So what if you were the last remaining human? then what?

Lone Wolf · 09-09-2009, 10:51 AM

Then i go to another planet and live with the inhabitants there? o.o

09-09-2009, 10:52 AM

my whole point is what if you can't? what if the apocalypse happens and everyone dies. yet you live on without anyone else.

Lone Wolf · 09-09-2009, 10:54 AM

I dont care as long as i cant die?...

Ninja of Cao · 09-09-2009, 10:55 AM

I don't want to be the last human on earth...
The earth will be destroyed in many billion years, I think.
But maybe we have found a new planet until then.

This reminds me of the movie Alexander. During the battle in the jungle against the Indians and their elephants. Alexander shouted to his army:

"Macedonians! Why do you retreat?! Do you want to live forever?! In the name of Zeus, ATTACK!!!"

Alexander's hero, Akilles, gained a question once:
What would you choose? A long, but boring life? Or a short, but happy life?

my point exactly but then of course being immortal and living forever would be insane.

Alexander the Great was a great king in Macedonia. But it was over 2 000 years ago he died.
Many people thinks of him as a warlord who was crushing all resistance. But he did so much more; he was making contact with new cultures, he created a new religion, built many new cities...
He is probably my idol through European history.
