Couldn't of put it better. Death brings relief from this world's torturous existenceQuinto wrote:In our current earthly life, this would be one big torture. Just imagine the insatiable appetite man has,even towards depleting natural resources. At least death brings some sanity to some extent. Just imagine those few 'bad' fellows from your own perspective, living for ever!

Totally agree with you on this one! You word it better than I could've. Death brings so much (good and bad) to everyone in the world.Quinto wrote:In our current earthly life, this would be one big torture.

Although there was one tragic consequence of immortality told in Mythology, concerning the goddess of the dawn, Aurora. She has asked Zeus to make her mortal husband immortal. The request was granted, but she had not specified to keep her husband from aging. Perhaps, after a few million years, her husband had grown so wrinkled, that in exasperation, she willed him to be transformed to a grasshopper.

Well said. On the other hand, would you not like to do the same in many other lifetimes? If immortality is handed down without strings attached, then good. Just consider that there are some people who would go to the extent of making a pact with the devil just to become perpetually alive. We see friends and loved ones die even in this very short lifetime. This is an inevitable experience. But you acquire new friends, and love ones again as long as life goes on. All other things considered, is it not great to live indefinitely?

Immortality in Heaven is already a seeming good experience. But think of the thrills when most things are not perfect, when fun is not "railroaded" to a familiar state of bliss all the time. An analogy comes to mind: Would there be more thrills in climbing a mountain manually, or by ascending to the top by means of a helicopter? Immortality in a mortal world or immortality in a place where immortality is just commonplace?greenstripedgiraffe wrote: ↑03 Feb 2017, 09:03 Immortality poses a lot of problems. Everyone you know dies. Everyone you don't know dies. Historically speaking, the world has been progressively worsening as far as evil goes, so more wars = more people dying. Only place it's worth being immortal is Heaven. No more wars, no death, no sorrow, no sickness, etc. On earth here - not so much.
