Nevermore Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I'll explain each a bit better: Immortality: You don't die. You can get wounded, but the wounds heal rapidly when you meditate on them. So if you get an slash across the chest you just stop and gvie thought on your wound and it'll heal rapidly. Head gettign cut off: your head grows a body over the course of a week or two. Basicly you have ultimate control over your body to the point where, given a week or so, you could change forms completly if you meditated on it enough. Mind you though that you live forever. As in you will never not be here. You'll see the human race rise and colonise the moon and mars, and you'll see what ever fate they meet. You'll see stars die, and forget you even seen them after thousends of eons. In millions of eons you'll even see a race that resembles humans, races that resemble any biologically possable creature ever dreamt of. You'll be a ruler, and a peasent. A praised hero, and a hated villian. Most of all you'll be there. Always and forever. Nothing has power over you. You are you, and always will be. Immortality with god powers: You are basicly the god. You can do what ever you wish. You can destroy planets, or make them. You can erease hight and see two dimensions, or create 10 more. You have ultimate power, though you can't kill yourself. Die now: You choose to die and accept what ever fate comes. This is for people without the gull to kill themselves. At least you'll find out what religion is right, if any are. Cease to exist: You don't die becouse there is no "you". Your self awarness is stripped away and your veary being is compusted and gone. If souls exist: you don't have one. live like you are now: Just like the die now option, only comes into effect when you happen to die.You die of old age, or getting hit by a bus. Who knows.------------------------------------------------------ Personaly, I can't answer this now for I am still busy trying to figure the universe out. I'm close, but not done yet. But what about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 So you both would rather die now, then not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Whether one chose immortality might be affected by uniqueness. If I am immortal and nothing and nobody else is I am sure I would feel differently to being immortal as part of a race of immortals. Two things to think of:- Human emotions will over time have no meaning to an immortal. Also there can be no urge to try the new. Each time you try something new it is one less possibility in a finite list. ALthough the list might seem to a mere mortal to extend forever, it would not seem that way to an immortal. Therefore I do not know what I would be choosing in opting for immortality and would not attempt to make such a choice unless I knew it was actually feasible. Which, basically, is a cop out!

Zmid Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 My own personal choice would actually be none of the above. It would really be option two (immortality with god powers), but with the option of killing myself if I so wish. That way, once I had experienced the universe as totally as I could, I could kill myself instead of being bored for the rest of eternity. Though saying that, if I was basically a god, I could always make another universe.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acoran Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I would find immortality rather boring after a time. In some other(nearley identical) thread someoe said imoortality would be boring after escaping death for the 80,000,000th time. But I would Like to see things and terrorizing the little mortals would be a fun pass time......So i'm undecided......I need to think...............................................................................................OUCH! that hurts.....

Darnoc Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I would certainly choose immortality with god powers. Then I could do what I want and would live forever. If I liked, I could create a complete new universe (I personally would create Arda the way Tolkien described it) or perhaps even be a being inside this universe. And I don't think it will get boring. When you are god, you are above such feelings. Time and space cease to exist for such a being, so it can't get bored at all. Such a being would know what "boring" means, but acctually would not experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
