Why would you want to live forever?

Actually I wouldn't, thank God there is such thing as death.

Here's two more questions, if you ever want to pick this question up again and give it more thought.

One: why are you so terrified of boredom?

Two: do you remember everything you did this day last year? Every second of yesterday? Exactly what you were thinking ten minutes ago? Without looking, the eighth word in my answer?

I think there's a lot about the human experience that's missing from the way you're thinking about time.

You also seem pretty certain about the fate of the universe. What's that certainty based on?

With that much time and experience and accumulated understanding of the nature of existence, you would figure out how to trigger a new Big Bang. You would also manage to fine-tune its natural constants such that it could be self-organizing to the point where it eventually gives rise to semi-intelligent beings, featuring free-will. With the appearance of said being You could sit back and watch what amusing choices they make for themselves. Do they choose to get along with each other or do they make war on each other? Do they suspect You exist? It probably doesn't really matter a whole heap to You if they know You exist or not but it is a whole heap of fun to watch some of them argue about it. If any group of them ever became too decided on the matter You could even visit in one guise or another and stir things up or seemingly cause something to happen that they just can't make sense of and then watch them try to explain it away like they have any idea what is going on.

I'd like to add...thanks for a fun question!

i might want to stay perpetually. i'm 20 now, and that i might in all probability choose for to be perpetually sixty 8. i think of via the time i'm sixty 8, i could have performed many existence targets, which includes paying for a house, doing a large style of vacationing, getting married, having teenagers, and each thing else i had to do. 13 replaced right into a complicated age for me. I suffered melancholy after dealing with a scientific disaster. i don't care with regard to the previous; I merely want to flow forward into the destiny and stay my existence! :)

I'm more than halfway to 100 and I figure that by then I'll be enlightened enough to pass on in peace with no expectations of an afterlife. It takes some people longer to get it though. Maybe that's why they want to live forever.

If a person were afraid of death, they would want to live forever just to avoid it.

Basically your talking about forever and infinity and in fact a human soul and life is exactly that! That's what makes humans unique from animals and all other life forms. All animal lifeforms have their season, they die, and that's it! But humans have an immortal soul that will life googolplexplexplexplexplex years times Octingentillion times.......................

So life on earth is very very short, and than your soul lives on forever! That's where spirituality and God come in, to decide your fate after you die. You know the rest, those who die in their sins live eternity apart from God and in torment. Those who repent and accept Jesus as savior will dwell with God in heaven for all of eternity, in heaven, walking the streets of Gold, living in God's mansion, experiencing unending joy, peace, love, and brother NONE of that WILL EVER GET BORING. I promise you!

I would still argue that living forever is better than ceasing to exist, regardless of how boring it gets.

We're going to live forever either in hell and the lake of fire or heaven and on earth in the Millenium. It just will happen. Do you want to be with God who loves you for eternity or the devil who hates you for eternity? It is entirely up to you. Your choice.

If they were greedy and hadn't thought the idea through at all.
