A  Mortal life has meaning

A immortal life is everlasting and is lesser for it............

I can't remember who said this or where I read it, I should have payed a bit more attention but I needed to write this down before it left my head.  Obviously it left an impression on me.  

So much is placed on living longer and stopping the aging process, which I can understand the reason for wanting to live for a long period of time or maybe even forever. 

But why would you want to. By this quote, A Mortal life has meaning, means to me that what you do in the span of time that we are given here on this earth is far more impactful, because we have a limited amount of time to achieve our personal best. We have no knowledge how long we truly have so we have to make the best of the time that we have. 

If you can maintain a healthy life and be able to care for yourself then I can see maybe living past one hundred, but what if you live past that age and you're bed ridden and you have everyone around you doing everything for you, imagine how exhausting that could be on your care takers. For me that is a selfish thing to have your love ones to go through or even the hired help. Of course if you live that long and you had no expectations of doing so then it's a different story.

Now if you're an IMMORTAL being, what's the point of achieving anything, all you have is time,  It seems glamorous I suppose, seeing the change in the world. technology getting more advanced could be thrilling. But then everyone you know and love dies continuously and you watch them get ill and wither away into nothingness. A rather sad existence would you say. And who is to say that you won't get old and wrinkly yourself, the odds of you staying young and beautiful are slim at best.

I for one have no desire to live forever, much less living past the age of 70. I find that this world tires me so much that I even have made a talisman so when the day comes that I finally get to leave this world that I will not reincarnate and come back to this world. I'm so good with that.

So I'm making my time here on earth mean something to me and holding all the nonsense away as far as I can keep it from setting me off on a different end game.

So if you're reading this and you have a choice to live forever or not, I'd like to know your feelings on the subject.

Looking forward to hearing from you.....
