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.
