Never understood the idea that people would get freaked out by being one day older than they were the day before.

besides the fact that it means you have one less day on this planet? it does feel like a count down my friend. and it goes faster and faster.

It's not really something that you can decide to refuse though, is it? I was perfectly fine not existing billions of years before being born, and I'm fairly sure that will the case after my expiry date.

As Socrates said (I'm paraphrasing) "When I am, death cannot be, and when death is, I cannot be" Nothing to fear at all.

well of course it won't matter once we are actually dead. but we are humans, and we want to control everything, and we all think we are the center of the universe.

If you were given the opportunity to live forever, would you take it?

Absolutely. If i could live forever i would be invincible. I could shape the world however i liked it, because anyone who opposed me could not kill me. I could call myself a God and challenge anyone to try to kill me, and prove that i was invincible. I could convince humanity to worship me.

They could lock me away in a prison for life, but eventually someone would take pity on me and set me free again.

Who wouldn't want to live forever?

You really need to work on your self confidence.

I have no desire to live forever.
