If Given The Chance

[Ming637]

Would you choose to live forever if you were given the chance? I think I would. I want to be able to experience everything you know. There's never enough knowledge, development, friends, etc.


What do you guys say?

 

[NTC]

Yes, I would too. I'd like to watch the world evolve.

That would be the exact same reason for me too.

 

[Riot]

I say no. Yeah, it would be cool to live for a long time, but forever? When there's nothing left and you're just stuck floating in a blank space FOREVER? You'd be so bored and lonely, I'm sure.

 

[AKIRA]

i would love to live for like 500 years, but not forever.

 

[thedude9990]

i dont think i'd like to live forever, beucase your oging to be old, your not gonig to be able to do a lot of things you think u want to do, if i had the chance i would just like to live to see my grandchildren grow to be abuot 10 or so

 

[M Two One]

I'd prefer to die eventually.

 

[arre]

Me 2, but most of all I'd much rather just be reborn when I die so that I can grow up differently and try new things.

 

[Really Lost One]

How about I get the chance to live forever, but if I want to die, I can only die by suicide

 

[Sasha]

No. It would become troublesome. I love the feeling that this experience will end someday and that I need to make the best of it. That's what it is for me, it keeps me going. If I lived forever, there would be nothing to look forward to.

 

[Sir Desmond]

Part of me wants to see what happens after you die, if anything at all. Not physically, as we all know that, but mentally and spiritually. There may be nothing, but it irks me when people say that there isn't when really there's no way to know that.

As for living forever, no. Once you hit a certain age, your quality of life would just go downhill, and if you could stay one age forever, then it would get boring after awhile unless the people you loved stayed the same age too.

Sasha sums it up best - if there is no ending in sight, then what is the point of living?

Exactly, the best thing now is to see and do what you can before you die. That's why you have to make the best of each day, especially when you're an adult. Because when you think about it, there may not be a tomorrow for you.

 

[Midnight Green]

I would hate to live for ever, watch all of your loved ones pass away, and you still be here. I also do believe in heaven and there being a better place than earth. So no...

 

[Karma]

It'd be interesting pull a Dorian Gray and physically stay at one age forever (I would think something like 25), but then you realize that the ones around you would die as well, and it would be just too hard to go through living forever like that.

Even in this life, I don't wanna live past something like 70-75. I don't want to be living to the point where I can no longer be self sufficient and will have to rely on a bunch of different factors in order to stay alive.

 

[B.e.]

I agree with what Sasha said.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Yes, I'd like to live forever. I don't think it'd take any luster out of my life, and I could still live it to it's fullest without the threat of death.

What are the terms of living forever though? Can a bullet not kill you, or are you just going to live forever so long as you can avoid a physical disaster? I can't really give a good answer to the question, because there are too many variables.

OT -

Dorian Gray! Are you an Oscar Wilde fan? The guy's the funniest writer I've ever come across. I've read pretty much all of his works, and the man is a genius.

 

[M Two One]

Well if you couldn't be harmed by anything I'd go with that, but that would be a fantasy I think. I'd jump off of buildings and then get up like nothing.

You'd be considered a God. That'd be hilarious.

 

[Midnight Green]

When I first saw this movie first thing that came to mind was the movie 'The Green Mile'.

 

[Shapecity]

It really depends on the surrounding factors. Do you get to remain in your prime age, or do you become a gnarled old man who can't wipe his own arse?

Does your mind remain sharp? Do other people around you get to live? I'm sure at some point you would get numb to people close to you dying, but I don't think I'd want to be alive anymore if I became emotionless.

As above, so below.

 

[jbbhoops4life]

if i were to stop aging and have the option of dying, then yes absolutely. i dont wanna be some f'ed old man wandering on even past the end of the earth. i wanna stay young, and if i choose, eventually go on and die.

 

[huevonkiller]

I don't care if I would get special powers by being immortal, I want to die one day (in my 70's-80's; unless people in the future can keep looking good through older ages).

 

[Karma]

It's wierd trying to picture myself in my 40's, 50's and 60's...I just can't see this sexy face of mine being wrinkly and old

.

On that note, I really don't wanna grow old; natural progression is an inevitable that's feared among everyone I assume.

DG is the only book of his that I have read, and it was amazing. I even ended up divulging into Wilde's biography and what not, and he's quite an interesting character himself. What books of his would you reccomend?

Dorian Gray was his only novel, but The Soul of Man under Socialism is a similarly serious work he wrote, in which he talks about his libertarian socialist beliefs. Some of his plays are great too, my favorite being The Importance of Being Earnest. It's also amazingly witty, a great example of his humor.

 

[hustler]

I wish i'd stay 20 years old forever.

 

[Sasha]

Why?

 

[The Dream]

no.....it would be great to see things change, but life would get boring after a while.....

 

[Iggy]

I wouldn't, cause when the whole global warming thing finally occurs and everyone dies, then you'll be left alone. But if you stayed like 20, you could do ALOT of chicks.

 

[igotask8board]

What would happen if you f'd up and sentenced to life in prison? (again good movie)

 

[Bahir]

Well then you have an eternity to plot your escape. But with good behaviour, I'm sure they'd be nice and let you out after 150 years or so (unless they realize how weird it is that you are that old, and begin experimenting on you).

My mind wanders off at times.
