    Default "Would You Choose To Live Forever?"

    A philosopher asks the question.



    I would say, no. I think the desire for immortality is really just a fear of death.

    The thought of "eternal life" is so repulsive to me, that it sounds more like a threat or punishment than a reward.

    I already did choose to live forever by accepting Jesus Christ as my savior

    Hell No.
    America is an oligarchy turning into a brutal tyranny.

    Buckle Up.

    I’m counting on it … but not here. Planning on a big move.

    But you really don’t have a choice. You’re going to live forever. The key is Location, Location, Location.

    If I could live a healthy and fun life forever, yes. I'd love to see what the world is like 1,000 years from now, then 10,000, so forth. It would be even cooler if I could just skip along, be woken up every 100 years to learn what's new then put back in the fridge for safekeeping...

    LOL
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Agreed quality not quantity is the key. Being woken every 100 years for a few months would be interesting.

    Regular sleep would be fine for me if I lived forever


    If I could have health and security living until I decided myself to exit would be awesome

    With the direction this country is headed, no.

    I'd bet if the WWII veterans could have added another 30-40 years on their lives, they'd be appalled at what this country has become.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
