Immortality is only a blessing if you make it into one, it's only a blessing if you can live and share the lives of others, if you can share their love, their friendship.
And when they die you must remain strong, you must never dwell in the past.
But remember them, remember every single one of them, remember every moment so they will never be lost. It will be tough but you will have to manage, for them.
They will all take a tiny piece of heart with them, and after each loss you will be saddened but that's okay, just remain strong enough so others may take in your warmth, seek all those beautiful moments, store them, it's the only thing that truly lasts forever.
For one day you will see each other again, but until that day.
Remember.

It's nice to see someone who has a similar view on immortality. Perhaps someday we can exchange philosophies.

Today is a good someday, if you'd like.

Hmmm...where to start, where to start.

Would I be correct in saying if given the choice you would choose to be immortal?

I would choose immortality. Watching the human species evolve, adapt, and hopefully eventually move on to the stars. I would find my entertainment in learning, watching humans and possibly other sentient species interactions amongst each other, meeting new people and being with them throughout their lives. Even if I were to end up being the last human or the last living being in the universe, I would never regret my choice. I would have experienced the extent of humanity's capabilities and those of other species and attained a vast amount of knowledge. Perhaps through my knowledge I would be able to prevent the extinction of life. I would witness tragedy after tragedy. Immortality is only a curse if you base your existence off of the negatives that occur. Even in a normal human lifespan, if we focus on the negative we become depressed and some fall victim to suicide. We must keep the good at the front of mind and keep bad pushed to the back, yet never ignore it. We learn and grow from both the good and bad experiences in our lives, and to completely ignore one side would unbalance our perspective. Even if every living thing in the universe except myself died, perhaps I would wait for the possibility of another era of life to occur and restart my journey again. However, the loneliness could become to much to bear and I would invite death to escort me out of that world after living to the extent I had always wanted to.

Yes, if you could invite death at anytime immortality would also be my choice for very much the same reason. However, if not i'd remain my ground.

If we'd assume that death offers no escape, would your answer remain the same?

Yes. Even if I death was an impossibility, and I had to remain alive under whatever circumstances made me want to die, I would still choose immortality. The possibility of all the positive I could offer throughout my eternal existence would outweigh my own happiness and mental health. Even if I hated being immortal, I would sacrifice myself to try and benefit future generations.

Then i shall salute you for being the greater man.
Self i am to frighten to face the eternity, with all the right reason.
I salute you my friend, if you'd ever be given the choice remember every word of this discussion, hang on to it and you'll better believe it.
Self i will embrace death when my time has come and i will hope to you see you one day.

Any man can make decisions both bad and good. What makes a man great is how he deals with the consequences of each choice.

Perhaps I would be a fool to one day be able to look death in the face and simply refuse to kneel to him. I would never look down on anyone for the choices they make unless their choices were purposefully harmful to others.

If the day ever comes where I can choose immortality, I will choose it and I will never forget you, this conversation, or the path you chose. When the day comes that death bids you to follow, I will wish you a good sleep until we meet again.

Immortality a blessing and a curse.

That was beautiful... Did you come up with that yourself? Or is it a quote?

haha, Still gives me a feel though :)
