I am confused.......confused

I don't want to live forever...but while I am alive I will respect my body, and what food I feed it, what it needs for nourishment...rest when it requires it, exercise that is joyful to all of me...I don't get your point.....sorry....

I am not motivated in doing this to live forever...it is the first place respect starts...I thought...

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I'm not afraid of dying, but suffering from ill-health leading up to my death is not something I'd be too enthused about.

Would I want to live forever?

That's a deep question.

Would I want to live forever on Earth with these yo-yo's around me? Probably not, I already have very pleasant dreams of just passing away into oblivion and they are more desirable that the thought of waking back up again to yet another day of reality. laugh

I laugh at that, but it's really no untrue.

I'm sure things would be different if I had a loving family. But I don't and that's not just something you can run out to Wal-mart and purchase, unless Hasbro has it in the toy section I haven't been in the toy section for eons because I don't have any kids.

I don't care what anyone says, life is more enjoyable when you have family to share it with than when you are just living it entirely along. Unless you're some kind of egotistical self-centered narcissists then perhaps a person could enjoy a self-centered life I suppose.

Now if I could live in a world were everyone were like me (i.e. no wars, crime or hate), then I might be inclined to live forever. Assuming I could retain good physical health the whole time.

But then again, if you just black out when you finally do die it will have all been for not anyway. At that point in time it may as well have never happened at all.

Of course, if you continue to live in a spiritual world after you leave this one than the whole concept of death is moot.

I believe the latter is the true nature of our existence. I don't believe based on 'faith' because I 'want' to believe it, I just genuinely believe that this is the true nature of our existence for many different intuitive, philosophical, and scientific reasons.

It really doesn't matter to me one way or the other. If you just black out when you die then nothing will be important to because you won't be around to pass judgment on the situation anymore. dunno

Yes....my wish would be to live on in my kids and their kids, and so on. through memory and actions. to be remembered for (hopefully) my charitable nature and the love i hold dear to me for all creatures. for my strengths and my weaknesses. and hopefully my values and love of God.
that is how i would wish to live on forever.
