I will enjoy my time here as best as my mind and wellbeing allows, but I am not scared of dying at all. My time will come, and it doesn't worry me that it could be as soon as 10 minutes (who knows?). So be it, it doesn't bother me.

Echoing the words of the great Kurt Vonnegut from Sluaghterhouse 5 "so it goes"

I had a car crash earlier this year - a drunk driver ran a red light and destroyed my car and closed 4 lanes of traffic with the debris , it was ambulances all round and ive been told that I still need more physio 6 months on - but I never thought of dying even when I was trapped in the car......I know its gonna happen but I knew it wasn't going to be that day for some crazy reason - the only think I am scared of is struggling for breath at the end = as an asthmatic I know what that feels like and its not nice , I guess for some it may be a surprise but not for me

Death sounds relaxing but the act of becoming dead does not.

Back to the subject of living forever... I had a thought while driving to my dentist appointment earlier... Had the windows rolled down, moonroof open... Beautiful day, warm, a few clouds and deep blue sky... I mean in that moment I felt like who would want to pass that up everyday for eternity? It's a pretty simple pleasure...

if you lived forever wont you feel pretty crappy at about age 600. Or way before that.

Would you expect to still feel young and vibrant in your 1000s or 10,000s.

Well that's the thing...if you could live to be that old I would seem to think that the problem with aging would largely be solved...

Otherwise I would think that living to be 600 or whatever would indeed suck...

if i could stop time to practice piano and then i started the clocks again everyone might be impressed with my great piano skills but they might also say hey you look a lot older now. How did you get old like that all of the sudden.
