If you had the chance to be immortal.....would you go through with it?
 

And forfeit your right to die...

So you couldnt die at all? You could never reverse it?

I dunno... Fuck that.

no, i wouldn't

pfft then how would i ever see my granny :-(

if my girl died n i couldnt die 2 b wif her, n id have 2 stay alive without her... fuck that shit, werd

i dunno...if i dont grow older than 30
and i dont get any health problems then maybe

but if i have ta live like how im livin right now..
and i cant die EVER then i'd look at it as a curse

i have alot of mixed feelings about it
u cant even commit suicide if u want...damn

but ehhh we always have been immortal
we live on through the memories of our loved ones

im just focused on leaving my mark on society
and leavin sumthin people can look back on
and hopefully remember me by..know what im sayin?

Of course when you're dead you wont give a shit, let alone be aware of anyone remembering you or what mark you left on society.

i aint in it for the attention..
i'd be selfish ta do it just ta get fame
i dont care whether im around ta feel it
but i would like people ta remember me

i dunno maybe theres a heaven
hope there is but if there aint
then thats ight i dont have ta be aware

but dont u ever get like tired of life???
imagine living forever even though ur tired of it
watchin people die around u and shit
u tired of life now and just think of
living through the next millinium and beyond

i dunno if i'd be able ta do that

Yeah, I wouldnt want immortality. Dying is half the fun of being alive.

But yo, isnt wanting people to remember you the same thing as being selfish?

i dunno...maybe...i guess i just want people ta remember me
as sumthin imortant and not just not remembered at all
i guess if people dont remember me for sumthin theres no point in livin
and i dont want people ta remember me like how u thinkin
i wanna leave shit behind..
like how da vinci left all the inventions and shit behind
he's remembered that way..cuz he did sumthin for the people
people wouldnt be where they are today if it wasnt for him

i wanna be remembered as someone that did shit for people
it just feels good helping people and thats how i wanna be remembered
maybe more as a role model to other people
someone people can look up too

and most of all i just want people ta remember what i did

True humility is living your life for the good of others, and NOT wanting to be remembered.

Bunch of pussies in this thread...

lmao

You wouldnt want immortality...

yea exactly...ima be honest maybe i feel a lil both
selfish and just concerned bout everybody else
but i try ta not let my selfishness get in the way
of what i really wanna do which is help others

Is that so..........

Yeah, it is. If you do, then you don't know what you want, and after a while you'll realize you didnt want immortality.

Haha..

Just like mortals realise they dont wanna die when their faced with it...

Whats the difference?

That shit would be depressing as fuck. You'd grow to love people and then they'd all die so you'd lose them. . and that'd happen forever/until the world gets blown up or some shit.

Thats because of their upbringing and conditioning... Its like a parent taking their kid to the dentist. They dont want to go, but in the end they just have to and its for their own good.

With immortality it's different... You realize you want to die, and then you're stuck.

Realise you want to die?

Why?

You haven't thought immortality through, have you?

On the contrary..

I think you have a far too narrow perspective of immortality...

Would you really want to live forever?

You're probably just thinking "Oh yeah, it will be ill. I can work for ages and make heaps of money and become famous, and have sex with so many hot bitches. And live into the future to see all the technological advancements. I could even use it to trick people into thinking im a god, and make them serve me. Immortality is dope."

But its actually shit... Immortality? Thats hell man. Living FOREVER. Not just a hundred years after you're supposed to die, not just a thousand... Not just a million... Not just a billion... Not just a hundred million billion... FOREVER. What would you do? Where would you go if the world was destroyed? Would you just float into space for eternity? What could you possibly do here? Be a living record of history, be loved by people, love people (who by the way are mortal)?

Maybe you can't see it now, but im sure after you've lived for like two hundred years or even less, you'd be like why, oh why did I choose to be immortal.

Is that what you think..

No, I just made it up.

Why dont you tell me the virtues of immortality?

it wouldnt b so bad if a shit load of people could b imortal, so theyd always b wif u.

n shit, imagine if u got life in jail or sum shit... or tha electric chair, n they just electricute u fo years, lmao, werd

ROFL..if i was immortal i sure as hell would try every way of killin myself
just ta have some fun

You would end up horribly disfigured then...

Yay for you..

Why dont you tell me the virtues of death?

being immortal doesent exclude you from everything else, you would still age, get the diseases that come with age (diabetes, authritis) ect. your dick would shrivel up youd most likely be in a wheelchair for the whole of eternity, you wouldnt be able to talk im sure, you would hardly be able to move, so i think ill go with death and meeting my loved ones once again

Aging happens because your body is slowing down and dying.

Not when your living forever...

Teru please, I get you
But your out of your league
Thinking your way of life depends on an end
How can it be?
See
Time is just a concept
Death is ending the self
Immortality is being here for the whole thing
Propelled, to continually progress
For all eternity, yes
Dont stress on the petty issues
Remember whats next
Is just eternity as either another cycle or less
Your 'self' could end up as nothing & despite what youve read
From teachings in the bible or zen
This currant life is a mystery
Future present & history aint shit to me
Literally dont you get it?
Dont be dependant on your mortal emotions
& Get your mind out those primordial oceans

My way of life does not depend on anything.

Self could end up as nothing? Thats the whole point, to get rid of the self.

All you basically said was you'd want to be immortal to "be here for the whole thing." Crap, superficial reason man.

no not neccisarily

All I basically said?

All I basically said was........

Why bother dying?

The only thing we can be sure its good for is decreasing population in this world.

Nah if you were immortal, aging wouldnt make sense. But let me first say that immortality in the first place doesnt make sense.

Death gives life the tiny shred of meaning that it has. Immortality would make life more useless than it already is.

How would being immortal take away a meaning for life?

Because you're doing something pointless for an infinite amount of time? What is more meaningless than that?

Sorry man...

But life is a lot less pointless than youve trained your mind to think...
