That's what I was thinking - to not tell anyone. At first, I was thinking motivational speaking based on the experiences I would have would be great. However, it might not be a good idea to be in the public's eye since that will eventually lead to question when aging doesn't happen. Especially, with the internet being such a prominent feature in our society. I guess I would stick with the little things to help.EmperorOfBooks wrote:Well, for starters, I don't think I'd reveal to anyone that I was immortal, the reason being I AM NOT going to become a lab rat for the rest of eternity. Second of all, I'm pretty sure my attempts at changing the world wouldn't get me anywhere, unless I had other people willing to help me make a change.

I would definitely try to influence things if I had a long time to do it in. Something on a global scale if possible.AmeliaLovesBooks wrote:The idea of indefinite life is enough to make the mind spin with ideas, plans, and ambitions. Consider that most of the people we know to be cornerstones in society (past and present), don't live long enough to make the world a better place and even if they do, those changes are often short-lived. But to be an immortal? Changing the world might be just another Monday. What would you do to change the world?

Guiding others to change the world IS changing the world. Assisting people to be better through knowledge is an immense help, just think of all the teachers that change the world everyday by encouraging us to be doctors, engineers, chemists, etc. You would change the world.

I would absorb as much knowledge as I could in every category. Pass the knowledge on. Help those in need and push them to do the same. Travel every where and share that knowledge with tribes and countries that do not have access to grow. I'd also teach others to love every day of their lives. Glass is always full.
