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 Spooter: 5/27/2013 4:22:17 AMI think that even with all the negative aspects of such a thing, I would still accept immortality, albeit with some measure of reluctance. Because while I do want to live, to see things beyond my little window of existence, to somehow change the world and see what consequences (both positive and negative) that my actions might bring, I do still want to pass on one day. But what immortality do you mean anyway? Do we stay exactly how we are now, invulnerable from the effects time and worries like going blind or becoming senile as experience and use eventually wear us down? Or just the unending life part, where you can live an unending life but can still die (though difficult of course)?
