what is life without death?
The question: what is life without death? What drives an immortal to do something great if he has no due date? And how far would immortality go? The universe itself could collapse and leave you, a shell of a living being that used to be driven by a sense of emotions and drives only understood by very few. Do those who wish not to die, and for those who wish for life without death, what will become of you when all you know and love is gone and will never return? Is life precious because we can choose our outcome , where we end and with what left done or undone? Next time you think of immortality, remember that it is a two-sided coin, a blessing and a curse, a positive or negative.
tl;dr Immortality is bad, m'kay

Edited by White: 5/27/2013 4:14:59 AMWhat is life with mortality? 5 years of being unable to do what you what due to lack of knowledge or position of power, 13 years being stuck within an educational system, more if you go for an higher education, Roughly 40 years of working in order to have the cash to sustain oneself and have fun in your little time between with spare cash, retire and wait till you're roughly 75-80, more if you're lucky, to kick the bucket? Really, how many people go through their life getting to live it to the fullest, living within an almost hedonistic manner? How many people are going to do great things that will get them into the history books? How many people hope for an afterlife in hopes that all their time here was not for nothing? In all honesty, I would see immortality as the greatest blessing that could be bestowed, allowing oneself to bypass this, this structure that all pretty much have to adhere to. One could truly have all the time in the world to do what they want.
