I understand the gravity of immortality, I've read so much of this theme and I completely understand the fear of living beyond the passage of time.
But I have so so many things I'd love to do. Maybe I'm just so used to my own company and I find that I move on pretty quick with people—I'm grateful for the company they provided but if they have to go, I find myself accepting it so quickly it's weird.
I'd love to go to college over and over again, taking different programs. Mastering every skill in the arts. I want to try different career paths. Study something tediously to discover something new. Try living on different parts of the world. Making it a mission to be in close contact with as many animals, observing them and making art. I can finally binge watch every single mainstream media without feeling like I'm wasting my time because I should've been "productive." I wouldn't feel on edge anymore because I'm not running out of time.
It's like, with endless amounts of hobbies and knowledge, coupled with the advancement of technology, I won't get bored; because I'm relishing not in finite relationships, but in myself and interests, who will live on forever.
I don't know, maybe I still need more time to realize that immortality isn't good, but it's just that my fear of regrets and not doing enough of everything I've wanted outweighs it. I want to be everything, and it's impossible with the human lifespan.
To be honest, I find the idea of immortality quite fascinating too! Just imagine all the time we'd have to explore everything that sparks our curiosity! It opens up endless possibilities, like a treasure chest waiting to be discovered. However, I also marvel at what being immortal would truly feel like. Without an end in sight, would we miss the thrill of striving toward a goal?
There’s something genuinely special about the brevity of human life. This short-lived nature makes our moments so precious and joyful! We set our sights on goals, and achieving them fills us with happiness and a glorious sense of fulfilment. It’s the journey that gives our lives meaning and beauty—each step is a part of a beautiful dance!
On the flip side, immortality could give us more time than we ever dreamed of! While we could still set exciting goals, I wonder if the satisfaction of achieving them would remain as sweet as it is for us mortals. It might turn into an endless loop, and I can’t help but think that over time, we might miss the magic of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Just think of going back to school or college; those experiences, so vibrant and filled with wonder, might lose some of their sparkle if we could relive them endlessly.
In the end, this is just my perspective! I’m not claiming to be right or anything. Everyone has their views, and I truly appreciate the diversity of thoughts. Hopefully, sharing mine brings a little joy and reflection!
Mangago is messed up today or is it just me? Letters are missing when I type comments, but appear when posted, tags are blank or only 2 or 3 letters are present, and even some headings in mh acc is missing. Is it just me?

Am I the only one who thinks this way? ;-;
