That's a neat way to look at things, but I can see a lot of downsides, too. Everyone you care about would die again and again.

Well for us book lovers, I think that's the best perk of being an immortal.Lest92 wrote:gali wrote:There are too many books for that, and more are coming out every day.Wasif Ahmed wrote: You'd run out of books. ?
Same; if in a moment of weakness I picked immortality, I'd want to never run out of books and look 25 forever. But I don't think I'd choose that, even if it means missing out on all the books I could read

Is the reality of the world different from how we perceive and experience it in our minds? Does physical reality exist apart from the human mind?

I am not sure. The idea of becoming immortal does sound interesting but.....
Please share your thoughts on this topic. ?

Even though I'd be intrigued to see what the next seven or eight hundred years holds, I think I would most likely decline. It would be too hard to see everybody you ever get to know grow old and die and to outlive your own great great grandchildren. Also, I imagine that after a few hundred years, life could get quite tiresome. Heck, you could even crave the sweet embrace of the grave at that point.

As Queen said, "Who wants to live forever when love must die?"
Plus, life is boring enough. Having to do the same thing for all eternity would be horrible. It'd be like living in the The Bible, Creationism And Prophecy thread on the Christianity forum.
