Immortality. Is it for you?

[The Great Watchers]

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, I have a question to pose for all of you:

If you had the ability to become immortal, would you do it?
What kind of parameters would you set for your immortality? (Meaning, would you want the ability to die if you wanted to quit living, or would you want to stay alive indefinetly?)
How do you think people around you would take it? Would there be controversy about it in religious groups?
And finally, do you think the human mind can hold up to eternity?

Pointer for NSG: write in a normal sized font. The big font is not really necessary to carry your point across.

And no, immortality is not for me. I do not wish to live forever.

[Augarundus]

Yes. I would.

Unlimited immortality. Never die, never take injury, etc. If I could, I would adopt god-status.

Idk if I'd finally crack. Worth it though. Probably not; I'm a materialist bastard.

[Stattr]

i don't mind it...but yes i assume it would piss off others...

Fixed!

[Deus in Machina]

No. Absolutely not. Never ever ever. No.

[The Great Watchers]

Yes. I would.

Hey, immortality is an idea everyone has thought of at least once. I may take it, if I have the ability to end myself.

[Unhealthy2]

How about a state where I don't die until I simultaneously want to die and try to kill myself? If I just want to die, I won't. If I just try to kill myself during a possible irrational mood swing but I don't actually want to die, I won't. Also, I'd enjoy not getting older.

[Tiami]

In the end, there can be only one.


No, it's not for you.

[Condunum]

If you had the ability to become immortal, would you do it?

Nope.

What kind of parameters would you set for your immortality? (Meaning, would you want the ability to die if you wanted to quit living, or would you want to stay alive indefinetly?)

Were I to take immortality, I would rather have the ability to die on my own terms, should I choose to end living.

How do you think people around you would take it?

Probably hide me in a hole for all of eternity.

Would there be controversy about it in religious groups?

Yes.

And finally, do you think the human mind can hold up to eternity?

It wouldn't. When you reach the point where you can not take in any more information, you would (most likely) Become a vegetable.

That you may take it doesn't mean everyone presented with the opportunity wants it, Watch. Besides, I don't think the human mind is fit for immortality, if it were possible. At one point, we need oblivion, we need release. That we know death will come makes life even more precious, IMO. If immortality were possible, I think that preciousness would be sucked out everything.

[New East Ireland]

Sure. Sounds fun. And I'd get to call everybody youngster.

If I had the chance to see the world move, like an obelisk frozen in time, it would be amazing. It would be horrible to watch everyone I love die, but that's why I would want to be able to die if I say so.

Not if they are other immortals older.

Then why take immortality? If it would sadden you to see those you love die, why live forever in the first place?

I mean, I can understand wanting to watch history unfold while you remain unchanged, but is it really worth it? Can you watch all the ages of the world pass you by while you yourself remain unchanged?

[The Great Watchers]

Yup. Imagine being called a youngster for the rest of your unnatural life. It would slowly drive NEI insane...

[Deus in Machina]

All of these reasons

If I think about how people would view me, I would be like a wizard, or a daemon to them. Unchanging. Over time, I may become cynical. Numb to it all. Huh... You may have a point, Nana. I shall ponder eternity over a glass of tea.

[Sucrati]

I do not wish to live forever, but I would prefer to be able to go against anything that would harm me unscathed (no immortality, yes invincibility)

[Strysia]

Your life would take on a totally different meaning and you wouldn't fit in with anyone because you wouldn't be motivated by the fear of death. It would probably be harder to connect with people. I don't know if I'd do it.

Invincibility, FTW!

And you would seem different, and guess what the human throng tends to do to those who seem different? You would be ostracized, and in the worst case scenario, hunted down.

However, this is all a hypothetical. The chance of immortality, in my book, doesn't exist. However, some religious denominations do disagree with me on this. Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, claim that when the time of Reckoning happens, those who are in their church will be saved and will remain immortal, on this earth.

[Knoxcrest]

Since I'm a firm believer in the Christian faith, no, I'd rather go for a piece of the promised land.

[Olthar]

I am going to live forever or die trying!

[Deus in Machina]

Either way, you still exist for all eternity.
