Do you want to exist forever?

[Super_Child]

I am sat here alone, and when I'm alone I start to think about existance and my life. I question my own existance. Do I really exist or is what I presume to be reality just some kind of illusion or sick game being played on me and the rest of us by a being with greater power.

I pinch myself in the neck, it hurts. I feel pain therefore I must be real? But that doesn't really prove anything. Every so often I have these moments where my mind wanders and something clicks, I could be walking across a field or doing anything and I'll think to myself, wow I'm here right now in the world and I exist. And I believe its true.

Then i start to think about the afterlife, if there is one. I don't think about my own death, I never do Im just not afraid of it because I don't have any control over it. But a possible afterlife? I find myself wondering If I even want to go to 'Heaven' I'm not too sure If i want to exist forever, and in a state of perpetual happiness? To me the meaning of life is the persuit of your own personal happiness, I'm pretty happy with my life. I love my girlfriend, my family and the only thing bothering me right now is my job. But I'm sure that will change one day.

What I'm trying to say is, when I die I hope to have lived a very fullfilling life. I want to have great grandchildren when I go and I can say, hey I played a big part in that. And then I can rest in peace forever and I will end, I'll cease to exist. I hope that end doesn't come for a very long time because I am enjoying myself t: But I don't want to exist forever in some kind of afterlife. It just doesn't seem....right. I think that Humans should get one shot at life and thats it. Make the most of it. I'm going to. Your thoughts?

I just want too look into the future you know like 100 years when i know i will be dead and see what the world is like then. I think that would be cool, can you imagine what people 100 years ago would think of it today!

 

[Super_Child]

They would be scared.

 

[Hades]

maybe we do "exist" forever.

But not in this life, no. Sometimes I don't think I can make it to the next day let alone forever.

This thread title sure as hell reminds me of Oasis's "Live Forever" single, though.

if the question means existing forever past this life then i don't know anyone who could give you answer for that. since we know nothing about what happens to us after we die, it's impossible to know what you would prefer.

now, if the question is, "do you want to live forever in this life?", i'll say yes, but with a catch. if i were to become immortal, i'd want the power to end my life if/when i saw fit.

 

[Parker]

Absolutely not. How boring.

 

[nosebleed.]

I'd like to be reincarnated as this guy

 

[Jack O'Lantern]

Absolutely. There is too much that I want to experience and explore. Supposing the afterlife provides such an opportunity, I would want to travel through time and see dinosaurs, the birth of man, all of human history, etc. Then I would want to see what happens after I die and well after humanity dies. What comes next? Then I'd want to do a director's cut of my life. Sort of a "What would have happened if I had done this and not that?" kind of thing.

 

[blind_fury]

Forever is too long.

I'd be happy with 70 years on Earth and 300 years of bliss in Heaven.

Those of you who want to exist for trillions of years will get bored after the first 1,000 years.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I'll always exist in some form, and I always have.

 

[kainedamo]

I want to live alot longer than what is currently natural for human beings. 70, 80, 90 years isn't enough. I'd also like the appearance of being young for alot longer.

But I don't want to be an immortal.

As for the question of afterlife. It kinda scares me. I'd like to believe there is a heaven. I really would. But the idea just seems like a fantasy. But, the idea that there is nothing after you die is a scary thought.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

No.People like to think that their live is important,but when compaired to other lives,or things in the world..they are nothing,and when they die..people will be sad,and move on with their own lifes.

 

[Miss Invisible]

I'd be scared to exist forever.

But like you said, I think we should make the most of our lives as we can.

 

[Demon Within]

As long as there are tons of poon tang an breasts im down.

 

[Crimson_L]

The whole existing forever does indeed scare me...However, maybe if the boredom emotion was eliminated from my mind then it could be fun...

 

[Eros]

I want to live forever, old age is a pathetic way to go out.

 

[Speedball]

I'd love to exist forever. My family might die, but that's gonna happen anyway.
I'd love to travel the world, and see everything. I'd live in a new city every 10 years or so. By that time, hopefully space travel would have advanced enough. If not, I can wait by playing all those video games I've been dying to beat.

[The Shape]

No, that would suck. I'm okay with living out my life at the length it was meant to be.

 

[Machx72]

Considering my family's health problems on the guys' side, I have about 30 years left.

And that's about 10 years too many.

 

[Speedball]

I'd like to be reincarnated as this guy:

It seems like he gets younger every time he dies.
He's like Merlin

 

[Eros]

born to be kings, we are the princes of the universe.....

SING IT WITH ME.....

Thier can be only One.

 

[Noir]

It seems like he gets younger every time he dies.
He's like Merlin

2nd to 3rd he looks older, 5th to 6th he gets older looking.. He ages normally and he is somewhere around being 1000 (He said he was 952 at the beginning of his 6th incarnation) he just.. well, gets Cosmic Botox

 

[Kritish]

Sure, since I don't believe in an afterlife I see no reason to accept death.
