Randomguy Posted September 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2020 I just finished binge watching a show, finished the series. It started well, I thought, and then got kinda dumb. Anyway, one of the characters was a vampire, and by the show's end, he was about 160 years old before he killed himself by walking into the sun after another main character's funeral. None of the other main characters were vampires, but he waxed on about losing everybody he ever loved and having a depressing life because of that and the fact that he had pretty much seen everything before in one way or another. Would you want to live forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr Posted September 4, 2020 Share #6 Posted September 4, 2020 Could I ensure I would not age? Can I end it on my terms? I just wouldnt want to live after the sun went supernova and swallowed up the earth. I would just be floating around in space and I do not like being cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted September 4, 2020 Share #7 Posted September 4, 2020 Nope. I don't think I have the energy to make a whole new bunch of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted September 4, 2020 Share #11 Posted September 4, 2020 So I guess I'd need to get a job. I didn't plan a retirement that would last forever. Living forever, I'd need a lot more money. In that case... no. I'm sticking with my original plan. Retirement is kind of nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted September 4, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 4, 2020 yes, I've read the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles. Seems pretty dope. Not an easy life, but then again my mortal life isn't easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted September 4, 2020 Share #13 Posted September 4, 2020 ...I made it through a couple of Presidential speeches in the past two weeks. So relatively speaking, I've already lived forever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen ★ Posted September 4, 2020 Share #14 Posted September 4, 2020 Yes, at least ten thousand years give or take. I may be able to learn violin in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will change my answer to yes. I got some advice once about a certain fiddle break--The fiddle break was not created by people who analyzed the theoretical implications of their bowstrokes. It was created by people fluent in the language of their instrument and through years of playing and practicing. Stop asking and start doing. You'll know you have it right, when you have it right. So I have a lot more playing that needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted September 4, 2020 Share #19 Posted September 4, 2020 I would like to live forever - at least that's my opinion before turning 70 on Oct. 1 - as long as I'm able to think, get about, am pain-free, etc. My soon-to-be joining the septuagenarian club has made me think about mortality. In the past, I've said that if I die after 70 I will have led a full life. That's still true, but I lean on the fact that my non-smoking uncles on both sides of my family made it to 88 and, with improved medicine, hope I make it to 90. I quit smoking just before turning 45. I hope that was soon enough, because my many smoking aunts, uncles, and parents didn't make it to 80. But, if I continue to slow down due to aging, there will be a point where I'm sure to echo my father's last words, "I think it's time to check out." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted September 4, 2020 Share #22 Posted September 4, 2020 Tom Hanks’ character in The Green Mile kinda summed up my feeling on it. You have to carry on while everyone you love dies... Nah no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted September 4, 2020 Share #24 Posted September 4, 2020 I believe in more different robots in future... our lives become increasingly less and less "in person" with others. Therefore, nah. Nope. Not living forever. I'll be lucky to live for the next 3 decades without falling apart terribly...and be still mobile.
