Answer 1

No, because i want to be in peace someday.

Answer 2

Yes, I have often thought about that. But I have never come across an example of true immortality in any work of fiction. Because there is always a way to kill an immortal, always.

I would like to outlive the universe

I would like to outlive this universe only to realize that the universe is in an endless cycle of exploding into existence and collapsing back on itself only to repeat the process again and again for all eternity. However, nothing happens the same each time. Then I would discover that the theory of alternate realities is real, only they are not separate dimensions, but this universe being recreated an infinite number of times in an infinite number of ways. I would actually leave this galaxy and see it from the outside. I would fly from one end of the universe to the other. I would visit every single planet, however many billions, trillions, quadrillions there are. I would witness a universe completely devoid of life in any form. I would see a universe where every planet was the same as earth; the humans living on them would call their planet earth, speak the same languages, and have the same cultures. I would see universes where every work of fiction actually happened. I would meet all of the characters I have ever read about or seen in movies and TV. I would still evolve, and with literally infinite time to evolve, I would gain greater power than anyone has ever dreamed. I could leave superman in the dust. The incredible hulk could never hope to match my strength. And my mind, I would develop a memory with which I could recall every detail of every experience with perfect accuracy in an instant. I would spend an entire lifetime of the universe in meditation.  I would sit outside the singularity that creates the universe and watch it explode travelling away at the right speed as to be able to watch the universe grow from the infinitely small singularity to its maximum size and then watch it shrink back down. I would race a beam of light. at my first attempt failing miserably but by practicing and training and racing it again and again I would surpass it. I would see a universe where humans actually got it right from start to finish.

And then, in an attempt to end it all I would, at the moment the universe collapses back into the singularity, swallow the universe. When it explodes, I am scattered across the entire universe. A little piece of me will exist everywhere, and in everything.

Answer 3

no.

but there are quite a few people I want to outlive so I can dance on their graves.

Answer 4

i would. i dont wanna look old thats scary.. its like when i feel like ending my life i can end it but still look young after living for 100 years... and i can ask my family to drink from the spring as well. so why not? lol

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

No...life would (and already does) get pretty boring.

Answer 7

No because i think it would be really hard to watch the people you love grow old and die around you. I mean think about it, your parents, sisters, friends, their kids, your kids etc. would all die and you would stay the same. Plus, i kind of want to experience the whole growing old with your husband thing and go through all stages of life. i mean i dont look forward to the wrinkles and gray hair haha but i do look forward to grandchildren and sitting on the porch with my husband at night doing nothing, its appealing to me. So no, i would not drink from it, because i want to experience the whole life process all the way through old age, and death, and then spend the rest of my life in heaven. i mean why live eternally on earth when i can live eternally in heaven which is millions of times greater?

Answer 8

No. I couldn't stand to watch everyone I love die. Also, I'm already in a revolution right now and its a great feeling but I can't watch that many governments grow corrupt and me have to try and fix it over and over.

Answer 9

yes

just to say, "they offered and i took it"

or

"it's mine and you can't have it"

Answer 10

I would rather stay healthy until my death.  I suppose staying alive forever would be kind of fun.  to just sit back and watch society and the way it advances or to see its decline but the option to die eventually would be good to.  I might get bored and want what comes next.

Answer 11

No way, this is not our home, we are not meant to last forever on earth, thats why we seek God, but I would not want to live on this earth forever
