when you can live forever, what will you live for?

Forever is quite impossible unless someone already discovered the fountain of youth but let's just say that we can live forever, what will you live for? I got the idea from TWILIGHT, a best selling novel about vampires. I haven't read the book but a friend of mine strongly recommends it. I gave it some time to read the synopsis and I find it really interesting. Now back to the topic, if I am really given the chance to live forever, I think that would be difficult but if ever, I will live make a change. Living forever is not good for the environment since global warming and climate change is a prevalent issue nowadays.. If ever given the possibility of living forever, I will help make the good come out from every people I meet. :)

I know many would like to live forever. I am not greedy. I do not wish to live forever as life would not be blissful once the body ages. I guess I would live for my dreams if I unfortunately get the chance to live forever. I will meditate to achieve self-enlightenment.

I will seek the answer why I cannot die, and then find a way to die peacefully.

I do want to have a long fruitful life, but I don't want to be immortal because sooner or later, I would probably get tired of life. Besides, not dying is very unnatural. hehehe. We have to abide by the circle of life, hehe. This discussion reminds me of the movie/t.v. series Highlander. I think it would be exciting at first, having all the time in the world to do everything you'd like to do. Come to think of it, I'd travel the world over and over if I get to live forever. Learn the languages, cultures and behaviors of each country I go to. That would really be exciting. Maybe I can finish a continent in a century and then move to another continent for the following century. Nothing could make time pass by quickly than learning stuff you'd never dream of learning if you didn't have time to do it.

I would love to live forever. I would like to see what we invent next. If they find a cure for all kinds of diseases. what will happen a hundred years from now. I am curious and love life so much I hate to think I have to leave this world ever.

actually i dont want to live forever, that would be very tiring i guess. but as of now i dont want o die yet. i am a single mom of four children and dying right now will leave them devastated and they are still studying so i think it is not a good time yet. but then, for the sake of the topic if i have the chance to live forever then i will use that to help people who are dying. people who are sick. i will also be around to give them a hand and also to pray for them.

Honestly, I think I would hate living forever. I would be misreable watching loved one after loved one die while I still lived, I would probably be lonely. I'd know someone for a period of time...they would pass and I'd have to find new people. You'd think you'd be a drifter of sorts if you were immortal...but back on topic. I would also live to make change, try to make the world the best I could for the people who are mortal, and just try and make peace, I guess. If I lived forever I'd like the world I lived in to be prosperous and peaceful, if not for me, for everyone else as well. :)
