Would you want to live forever?

I shall wait for the MedBed that does regressions and revert back to how I was in my mid 30s. Check out Skye Prince on YouTube about the upcoming medbed. Use your discernement.

Forlornhope

We all go on forever in our descendants DNA (directly or indirectly) unless there is a complete apocalypse wiping us all out.

That’s a bit of a forlorn hope!

I go along with the thoughts on both your last entries! WWM

I look back on my 73 years and how as a young girl I had so much excitement in my mind for the life I would live not knowing how much hardship struggle and suffering I would encounter . Somehow I've survived the pain and always been a decent caring person helping others but sadly I look back and feel my life hasn't turned out as I hoped and 20 years on my own leaves me looking forward to leaving this world. Its harsh and frightening and the daily news shocking nothing is going to make my life any different at my age now . I laugh and tell myself I've seen all the TV repeats over and over and had 73 Christmases, eaten all the food I want to eat , I've seen it all I've got the T shirt and I hope I die warmly and quietly in my beautiful bed . Live forever, nah , I'm done

I do feel curious about what might happen in coming decades but don't know that I actually want to find out.
(Although hoping to have several more years yet.)

Noooo

No thanks. Even if all my friends and family also lived forever and we were all assured of health and mental fitness. I can't imagine how the world would cope with millions of people who never die.

I'm sorry you think this is a terrible existence.pinkjj27 And sad for you if your problems make you feel that way.
I think there is much about life that is wonderful. This amazing planet for a start, with all it's diversity and beauty.
There are many good and kind people. We tend to hear much more about the bad than the good.
In spite of the many problems in this country, there are much worse places to live. We are so lucky in many ways.
Good wishes to you.

No, not if It is this terrible existence, that is not living it is just exciting. No No No .

Yes it's the lead up to death I fear, not death itself.. You didn't know anything before you were born and will know nothing after death, and despite what a Christian upbringing would lead one to believe, in all honesty, I don't think Paradise will be awaiting! I actually don't believe that I will see much loved relations, especially my dearly loved mother ever again. But living for ever??!! Please NO.

Yes definitely I have fear of dying. I cannot comprehend that death is so final.

No death doesn’t bother me. You simply stop being.

So think what you were before you were conceived - nothing - that is what death will be - nothing - so zero to be scared of.

Leading up to death could be a bit dicey though.

We are all going to live forever- as we are spiritual being, merely encased in our bodies. The question is not if we are going to live but where and how we are going to spend eternity. Because I have given my life to Jesus Christ and I follow him I have my name in his Book of Life and will spend eternity with him. Most people reject Jesus in this life and do not follow him and will spend forever burning in torturous Hell (their choice). So you will live forever whether you want to or not. Your destination is a different matter. Choose Life.

Blimey

It’s also a NO from me . Since losing my partner 3 years ago , it’s not just that I miss him terribly but life now is very lonely without him . . I also miss my Mam & Dad and my old school friends that have passed away over the years .
Also the world has become such an awful place what with global warming and almost every day there is news of some mass shooting , cruelty, crime ect ect towards humanity. Putins war is just awful , the Ukrainians are such brave people . I feel what an awful world my two little granddaughters are growing up into .

Hell no! Life as we know it is a precious thing. It natural to die . We never really leave this mortal earth though as we live on in peoples memories. When those fade there may be recorded evidence of our being. I am interested in the history of my family and pray as time goes on future generations might try and find out about me znd mine x.x

I always say I would like to live long enough to see my eldest grandson settled. He is 14 and I am 70. Is it likely? My Mum lived to be 96, but had dementia.

If the world was a better place and the earth cared for, yes. So much to see and do. Projects I'd love work on, etc. And I miss my mum, dad and sister terribly.

If I can recall from my religious days, Adam and Eve were put on the earth and were going to live forever, creating a beautiful earth. Until the devil misled Eve and Adam followed, so they forfeited that wonderful chance for themselves and offspring, etc. I won't waffle on though, to respect other people's various beliefs.

I can totally understand why lots of gransnetters wouldn't want to live for ever though.

Juicy Lucy, I’m with you, I have suffered with a fear of Death phobia since I was 16 and that was a long time ago.

Living forever - sounds exhausting!!!

Oh no, I don’t want to live forever thank you. I’m 63 and already there are times when I realise that the world no longer shares many of my values. Imagine what it would be like to need to adapt and adapt and sdapt…. Plus, what about overpopulation? Im not ready to go yet and I’m proud to watch my adult children and grandchildren living their 21st century lives but I’ve no wish to see in the second half of the 21st century.

When i think back and realise that our generation have seen more and faster changes than any other, that has to be no I don't want to live forever. My Mum lived for 6 months after her Hundredth birthday. She suffered from Dementia for about 6 years before she died. There is absolutely nothing to recommend living to that age.

My five year old grandson wants to invent a machine that makes you live forever. I explained that if we all lived forever there would be no room for new babies to be born. His reply was that he only meant for our family to use it.

Only in heaven … if I had a wish it would be our pets had a longer life, they give so much yet old age in some starts around 7 -8 years mines 17 but I know the clock’s really ticking now

Many happy returns of today Harris 💐

Well I’m 63 today so I’ll give it a try! 😂
