Would you want to live forever? My position on this topic is equal upon yes and on no. This question has puzzled many others and me. Many things affect me, and make me think that I would, however some point towards the rejection of this statement. Throughout the years, the eye of the public and the eye of god have witnessed many happenings and events. As the world turns, Mother Nature takes its course and plays a vital role in the construction of new generations. Facts and ideas get passed along from one generation to another, so if one were to live forever they would be able to witness everything. From discoveries, to inventions, serial killers to world leaders and watch their families grow through the ages and eventually die. What are the benefits of living forever? Besides watching human life and the universe evolve, the person can personally see the change of the world, its development and the swaying of attitudes among all. The future holds answers that can only be answered by time, but every being has his or her time, the time to die, and that time will arrive eventually. But imagine outliving all, the possibilities are uncanny. This wonder, fantasy is the same concept of Peter Pan and Never Never Land. To never age and grow old, to see loved ones go by, friends and family. Since the possibilities of what one can do are limitless, then this state of living forever is a sort of never ending role playing game, and every kid living on this earth, with a limited life-span knows that sooner or later you will get bored o
f the game and want to call it quits. But, how will one call quits to a life, a life that in theory would seem to become boring after experiencing everything this world has to offer. r. Wouldn’t that be the greatest thing about living forever? That your enjoyment of sports, foods, friends, and loved ones would be renewable. That when one thing goes another thing arrives. If one was to live forever, then what is the purpose of competition? The whole purpose of humans is to compete with, among each other, for love, money, fame, and so on. But who will always come out on top and conquer all the odds? The person that is living forever. The reasons being that his efforts are limitless and the father time and Mother Nature are both on his or her time. You already have conquered nature by being able to live forever, and by living forever you have all the time in the world to make decisions about what you would like to do and where you would like to go. By now the pattern is clear that competition is at an end for you if all the supernatural forces have been defeated by a human defect, and the game of life is drowning on. “Life is like a box of chocolates,” said Tom Hanks in the Oscar winning film, Forrest Gump. Within me this statement seems reasonable, as life goes on sweet and great things keep happening, but like if you encountered the end of the chocolates then all is sad, and in contrast with life, people die. However the person living forever would always be humored because the chocolates are everlasting, and like the sweet taste of chocolate, life would be ever sweeter.
