This is something I have often wondered about. If someone was to offer you immortality, would you take it?
To make it fair let us say that your financial etc position is dependent on how you lead you life as it is for mortals. so all things equal, all that changes is your mortality status. Would you be able to see your friends, family, pets, lovers perish around you while you keep living on or would you rather be at peace!
Personally, i am sick enough of this world in the time I have lived here and I would never want to be immortal in this world because to me, living in such a world, forever, is worse than whatever death has to offer. Also I firmly believe that there is more to life than what we perceive as ourselves and I like to think that when the curtain falls on my story and I move on, I find out what it was all about. I would rather know what was the meaning of what i just went through rather than go through the same thing over and over again.
How do you feel and why. Would you rather be immortal or let nature take it's course?
Ps: All that changes is mortal status. You have all your other mental and physical abilities at your disposal to make the best of your immortality but you start as what you are today.
