Immortality!!

Immortality!!

Immortality sounds good, doesn't it?? its been every mortal man's fantasy through the ages, reflected in our literature, legends, folklore and everything as The Fountain of Youth, Vampires, The story of Dorian Gray all of them around the idea of immortality, its intriguing for us humans, cause we all know one day we all have to die but not dying ever makes the idea more interesting, even in the story of great and one of my all time favorite writer James Matthew Barrie, "Neverland" a place where no kid ever grows up, stays  young forever like Peter Pan. We all look upon our life as a ticking clock but we don't know when its going to stop, the fear of the unknowing makes all so gloomy and scary, but living forever is it really fun??? How can it be fun, its not in our nature to live in the same way, if nothing is changing we get bored, even same kind of TV programs makes us yawn then how come we can live happily forever, won't be bored by all the in the world?


If we were immortal then we don't had to compete for anything, don't run you have time don't hurry you are not going to die, so whats the point??? its more fun to live recklessly knowing that its a risk, it could cost my life that's the pure reason of adrenaline rush, the fear of unknown the risk the adventure of living in a uncertain world anything could happen good or bad but in every step a surprise just waiting in the corner. In the story of Dorian Gray the portrait reflected his long life's real ugliness the horror of living young and forever made a monster who doesn't care for the consequence of his action, and why in the world would he!! he is not going to die so the portrait just got worst by the passing moment. That is the true nature of Immortality, ugly, monstrous and hideous. So in the case of Vampires want to be immortal then first you have to die, a human life in exchange of immortality that is mainly the basic feeling of wanting something not worthwhile in our subconscious mind.

We all love the idea of living forever we just fear of dying just thinking of safety living in a quite safe life and by doing that we are killing every moment of adventure risk excitement from our own life, the fun of living is in a free spirited life its more interesting than Immortality, to live as mortal humanly possible......
