Think real hard about what you just said. The thought of living forever would drive me nuts. Life is already becoming boring. I couldn't stand another 50 years.Quote:

But I find life to be quite wonderful even though it has it's ups and downs. I would welcome the opportunity to live forever or at least several thousand years :smiley2:
I'm sorry that life has become boring for you. But there is so much to do and see in this world in my eyes. If I could live forever, eventually I wouldn't be bound to this planet! I could go out into the galaxy and beyond with civilization as it grows and explores. ( the theme from Star Trek begins to play in the background ) There would always be something new, something to learn and cigars to smoke! :smiley4:
Of course friends and family would have to be immortal too. It would suck a bit going on and on watching loved ones fade being replaced by others only to watch them fade too and so on and so on. But I think I could adjust. I think. :smiley22:
Ahhhh.......... to live so long! If you were also given the gift of youth and good health to go with it, you could try any number of careers! You could learn and master so much! Wow! What a concept!
The problem with this is that for it to be meaningful, your loved ones would need to have the same gift. Otherwise, you would experience a great deal of loss and guilt.
You got it Kenyth. I had mentioned those conditions earlier too. It would suck to see all your friends and family die. I would like to have the physical body of about thirty years old. Not too young not too old. Top health ALWAYS both physically and mentally.

Because you are not 70.
Raced cars, jumped out of airplanes,skied down a mountain, Dived the Canyon in the Bahamas, made love to more women than I can remember, seen a sunset in Hiwaii, had 3 wives, 5 grand children, been poor, been middle income, been poor again, been to RTDA, smoked a Padron 1926, had a trophu wife, been to more Herf's than I can remember, what the hell else is there left to do??? :smiley29:
There's an entire world out there.
I'm 27, and I think living for ever would be great too. But I really see what Opie is saying. He speaks great wisdom! I too wonder if I won't feel the same way when I am that old. At 27, I have led a full life. And I can just imagine what the next 25 years holds, let alone 50!!!

along with top health I would have to say you would need to be financialy secure, that way you'd be able to actually do everything there is to do.
sort of like the guy on Highlander the TV series. But I don't want people coming after me trying to cut my head off! :smiley36:
Hey, we've hijacked this thread!
In the moment before you die it will not make one iota of difference whether you are 19 or 999. ALL you have is the moment, you could have a plane fall on you when you walk out the door. A hundred years after you are gone there will be no trace of you on this earth!
