Answer 3

All things will never be answered on this plain of existence, there will always be another question.  The problem with living forever in the human form we now have along with the limited knowledge and the emotions we possess - would be that we would most likely imposes self isolation or we would be completely driven out of our minds with the consant  witnessing; century after century,  the same old brutal world we now live in.

Quite frankly saying good bye to those loved ones over and over again, watching them die and suffer would be horrible. h**l ON EARTH

Answer 4

That sounds like it's straight out of the Twilight movie trailer :P

If I could live forever, I would live for the world to end, I think that would be pretty cool, if I can live after it (since I live forever).

Answer 5

If I could, I would live as another, whose sole purpose would be to study me, my life and my interactions with the world having known who I am today. To watch and see if my destiny is such that I see it from my perspective today - and whether it makes any difference to me or to the world...

Answer 6

There is nothing I want answered. I just want to be happy, and that is what I would live for. To keep smiling.  

Answer 7

How to live forever?

When one keep on laughing at the misery of living human kind?

Will be laughing all the way back to the graveyard in time.

At the misery of living human kind getting themselves kick on the butts as casualty of the dead Mummy with self lack of knowledge.

Getting hit on the head with the Book of the Dead too.

Without being aware of it.

Being expose in time.

In kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.

Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49

What do you think?

Answer 8

Olá Tina, eu gostaria de ser feliz, sempre feliz, isso é tudo, beijos.

Answer 9

I always found the idea of immortality fascinating…until I read Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. There are these beings called Struldberggs (not sure about the spelling) who are immortal. But they have only been granted immortality and not everlasting youth. And so, they age, they lose their memory, they wither, they rot…they are even ostracized by the people around them due to their uselessness. It is a scary thought. To live forever, to see the people who loved you leave you. To know that they are finally at peace while you are frozen in time, growing more and more alienated and alone each day.

However. Kicking aside the pessimism, I will come to your question. It is a beautiful one. I realized it when I saw the full details. Do I want anything unanswerable answered? I just want to know if there is a limit of human intelligence. I mean if we don’t nuke each other, in a hundred years, the whole planet would have changed. I want to see all the progress and development (though I strongly suspect I will be seeing a lot more ugliness too)…I m not a star war freak but think of how far we have come…I want to know if hundred years from now, the world would be free of all hostility, all chauvinism, all phobias, all bias…I want to know if the world would become a place where everyone would accept each other’s integrity…don’t you think that would take forever though? So…perhaps living forever could be the only way to see that happen

Answer 10

" For what i believed in "

Answer 11

I would love to witness intergalactic space travel,  I would like to see mankind take organic life and go forth and multiply spreading colour and diversity throughtout the galaxy.  I beleive that is mans potential and destiny and would like to see it come to its fruition

Answer 12

If I lived forever I'd want to stay young forever and just enjoy life and gain wisdom.

Answer 13

Can I ever know what God knows?  As long as I live I will ponder that question and that would keep me going, and I would say that is what makes many of us keep going presently.  

Answer 14

yes..

perhaps figuring myself out, figuring some of the keys of life..that can open many doors, achieving something close to enlightenment, making my dreams come true, visiting all fantabulous places on earth...reading all the wonderful works of literature...i don't think all that's possible in a lifetime. but i can keep trying.

and yes, being alive for the one i crazily love.

Answer 15

I'd like to see how, in the future, the things that I think are completely natural and normal are actually just perspectives of this point in time. If I had been alive in, say, the 1600s, I would love to be around until today to see how gender roles have changed.

The things that I want to learn about in the future are invisible to me now though so, I don't know what they are. If I did, I guess I wouldn't care about seeing how they are perceived in the future.

Answer 16

I believe life is eternal. I'm alive now to learn, better myself and form positive ties. Anything and everything that truly has meaning in my life will always be with me for eternity. The love I give and receive from my family and very good friends will be with me where ever I go.

Answer 17

Finish my work.

Answer 18

I believe my almost four year old grandson, a future scholar,

is destined to contribute something grand to the world.

That is what I would live to see.  But it's highly unlikely I will.
