Concept of immortality

[DroGGz0r]

The second one reminds me of a manga I am reading :wut:

Don't be selfish, spit it out.

OT: I'd go with the second option.

They also lived in bum-**** Middle Earth. And were fictional

It's an analogy, Jamal.

Interesting question... second option though.

As much as I love who I am and the way I look that gives me more freedom to see the beauty and ugliness of the world through the eyes of different people. If ever I'm not happy all I gotta do is kill myself and be reborn. That's pretty sweet.

"Death to Islam!! I will eventually become all-knowing, omni-potent and more prosperous than you can imagine, pathetic mortals that are my current 'family'!" I mean..uhh. goo goo gaga. Where is my bottle?



You'll outlive them though? The World can end in multiple ways though

The second option does not state you'll outlive others. You'll die at a normal age, if naturally.

 

[Revyy]

-putting the ageing of your current physical manifestation at a halt, forever. Having all the time of the world to fulfill your bucketlist and whatnot. Still being able to die if, for example, you're shot in the head.

I pick this one. Simply because man think of all the books I can read? All the culture I can experience, the people I can kill and live to see family reactions...Plus I get to look this damn sexy forever? I mean sure I would have to change my look every so often but the possibilities are endless. Who knows? Sign me up because I'm 110% down.

I guess the first.

I somewhat believe in reincarnation, but not to that extent of the second option . I don't know if I'd want to be a baby with knowledge from all my other lives. That would be really annoying.

I didn't go in-depth on Option 2 but it should be obvious you'd gradually remember your past lives as you grow older and tap into those higher spheres to recall lost information. I guess only skills Will come to you quickly, most Likely without you knowing how you're so good at, for example, playing an instrument.

Oh okay. Then option 2.

I particularly believe in reincarnation .
I also made regression to past lifes, because in my younger years, I was tormented what could happen after life. It was an interesting experience, and I had such proves of what I was searching.
I believe everyone has a soul, and the conscience is immortal. And we reincarnate to evolve.

And, I think should be tiring and bothersome live in the same body, the same existence, forever. So I would not really like the first option seriously.


I must say if people are for fun, the first one is better. Be like a vampire, and dont really care to aging, illness and similar things. So when I get bored, I would just end with my existence.

True that, at first thought option 1 would be more fun. You could explore the world by foto and never need to worry about food and water. But option 2 would make all your reincarnations more interesting. Imagine having Some ridiculous talent at the age of 3 :3

 

[Dark Sonic]

The second one. I can relive my life every time lol

No. You'll die and Then reïncarnate.

The Earth will probably be a shithole and hell for the last humans for generations, depending on how the World ends.<br /> <br /> When I say you outlive someone. I mean in the way that your mind/memories/exp/ego stays in tact. You're not a blank slate like a regular new born. You never die for long mentally. You just can't do much as a baby while your body grows? That'd be hella boring actually (if you reincarnate as a baby anyway. Your name &amp; body may change but you're still you for the rest of your reincarnations.</div>

Ah, so that'S what you meant. Well, I explained that part in a previous post on this page. You don't get born whilest being aware of your previous life. It's something you tap into during your life so all those memories and past experiences don't overload your brain.

The price is pretty heavy towards the end of the cycle, plus some horrid things can happen between now &amp; then to you as well as those you get to know every life. Idk. It could be a very painful existence depending on the tapping into your previous memories thing. Usually with these sort of immortals in fiction, they have a very dark/depressing existence like vampires for example from all the accumulative emotional trauma. Luck is also an element, I guess. Overall will the good exp outweigh the bad. This is slightly different but still. Even watching the news may trigger horrid flashbacks.</div>

 

[WalksInShadows]

2nd option for sure. I'd get to relive various stages of life all over again(even though it might mean having to go to school repeatedly xD), not feel too lonely or guilty about outliving loved ones, fulfill all kinds of dreams, enjoy my hobbies and other interests forever, and sacrifice a life(mine, to be clear lol) to save others if i had to.

but in this case, the world evolves as the talent and consciensce of the people evolve. spiritually wise it's sayd that our world is very rudimentary, and that the souls who live here are relatively "dumb" and had many things to improve.

In addition, reincarnation explains why not all are equal. Someone may have a talent or more facility for certain things because they worked hard in other lives, or were more interested in that subject in successive lives.
Apart from that, it explains certain injustices and social differences, and gives everyone the possibility of being rich, poor, born in other parts of the world and with different experiences of life, Besides giving the opportunity to people to reconcile in other lives (such as Naruto and Sasuke, lol, but in a more seriously way)
Most people don't have flashbacks, unless they have a psychic or mediunic predisposition, or try to do regression or something similar.

Reincarnation. Incorporating death into the cycle of life. No question.
To be unable to age is a huge risk. The longer you live the higher the risk of winding up in a Hodan-esque situation where you're trapped forever.
