If you were immortal
And you'd been alive for at least 300 years, how do you think your personality would develop? Where would you go. What would your goals be? How long do you think you'd want to live?

I would start to feel disconnected to life itself, I would attempt every job profession at least once, travel the world to see how much of it have change over the years. Teach as much as possible and see which lesson would stand the test of time. I think after 10000 years I would probably have enough of living as an immotal

Interesting. Well I like the theme of the question. But it's already true. In my mind. The earth doesn't need me. It's better off not so much in a negative way. Food will grow back air will get better the land will grow in tender soil. We are trying to keep the world from doing that what it is meant to do. Now that we are smart as the 300 year old civilians I want to stay and change my broken town. And make it worth living. Have a home not have it locked. Inviting. How long I would want to live for? Really is about me giving up. My actions will be covered by those before me. Who made it here so I l Will live. So no I don't ever want to die.

I'm still young and I don't like the way human life works, nor the way other species' live, so if it were for me, I'd die young. Surely I'd not want to live for more than a hundred of years. It's already painful as it is now. Being immortal would feel like an eternal punishment for me. Humans require way too much maintenance and care. They are delicate beings and I don't like that.

Tbh immortality is a curse... Yes u cant die and you can do pretty much anythg in this world... Even go all around the world if u want to... But once you have done almost everything u will start to realise time going really slow for you... There is no purpose... no thrill... No more wishes... Just time... And not just that people u meet get old and die years and years later... While u still go on... And there will come a certain point where u wd wish that u wd die... See here is the thing... Being a mortal gives us humans a purpose that we have to do as we grow and go old and die at the end... It is a certain thrill that u have to complete it the best way you can before time runs out... Immortality makes this pointless... I wd never want anyone be immortal cz that wd be a life of pain and suffering more than anythg else... If u knw wt i mean...

I think it would depend heavily on the physical chemistry of your brain over time. Like our personalities are greatly affected by going through puberty, menopause, and hormonal changes from aging. So would I get like a 20 year old brain forever? A 30 year old brain? A 80 year old one? Regardless, I'd guess you'd get sick of everything, and a constant sense of ennui. All the people you knew and loved would be long dead. I've spoken with many elderly people who describe feeling like they've seen everything before, and life never seems to surprise them anymore. They don't feel like they have new experiences or make new meaningful memories. But if we had like a race of immortal people who could work together, I bet you could create something amazing.

After that much time, I hope I would've been able to learn and get good at all the things I'm interested in that I'm not currently able to focus on. Music composition, playing multiple instruments at a professional level, drawing, 3D modeling, animation... I could be a one-man game studio making AAA games (each one would take decades to make alone, but I'd have the time). I'd probably be very popular and famous for my accomplishments, while also being very lonely and afraid of getting attached to anyone, since I already know I'm going to outlive them. If I wasn't so bad at biology, maybe in that time I could figure out how to extend other humans' lives too. 🤔 And I still think I'd be wanting more at the end of my life. While the concept of eternity is scary, I think being eternally dead is way scarier. o_o

We are already immortal ever since the creation of the computer chip. Our footprint forever exists...which most of existing humanity would envy. However, if this situation is the case. I doubt I would change much. Enjoy the simple things dont waste time. I would be satisfied to live the normal alotted 72. After experiencimg good and bad, even with the good I find life still tiring. After a time, it would be enough to have that eternal rest.

I imagine over time you would go through stages, trying on different personalities and ideas as you go. I imagine you would gain greater understanding of your body and mind over such long time periods, especially if you aren’t aging continuously. Maybe at some point you would find ways to forget parts of your past that you feel hold you back from your future, even if it meant inflicting blunt head trauma on yourself. I imagine your life would be filled with ups and downs like life generally is. I imagine you would find great love and great loss. I imagine you would grow wise and learn to see the beauty in things. I imagine you would settle on some philosophy similar to Buddhism, allowing you to accept life’s ups and downs instead of fighting them. I think at times it would be hard, but overall I think you would fall into a pattern of living not one life, but many lives all strung together. I wager you could continue this for thousands of years.

I imagine that I would be a very curious person. If I knew that I was an immortal, I’d spend time trying to answer questions and understand things in life. Whether the subject is biology (or more specifically genetics), physics, history, music, or a study on languages, I’d love to spend time and understand as much as possible. Don’t know where I would be living since I would probably be traveling around. I’d would want to live for as long as it took to learn everything that I wanted, however I don’t fully know as the biggest downside would be outliving everyone I’ve ever loved.

A memory to bury, a heart to set free Why hold on to what's lost, a love that used to be Forever's just a dream, that's faded with the past Now I'm left to move on, and let love forever last

The speed of attaining success in life is inversely proportional to the weight of karmas that you carry on your shoulders. The more you release the load, the faster you can run! A random thought .... (edited)

With hearts that give and give, they often forget their own Their kindness leaves them lonely with a love that's overgrown Their selfless souls shine brightly, in the dark of night A gentle heart, that beats for others, but forgets its own light

Spoon Necklace
What was it that led me to choose such an unusual accessory? I can’t pinpoint an exact answer, but the symbolism behind it starts to form, piece by piece, as I think through it. I wanted to symbolize an incomplete union. A spoonful of sweetness, after all, must be contrasted by the blunt motion... read more
