"I became immortal because the god just so lazy..."

Just a crazy idea I got from watching this video => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aZqeaWx5wU

that would suck living forever

It's all a matter of perspective. I would enjoy it. And yes, I have heard and thought about all the arguments for why it might suck.

Foolish mortals enjoying immortality?
For how long? ~ I wonder. All that waits for them in the far future is madness.

If you've measured the pros and cons on it, good for you. I believe it would get really boring.

Well, technically its not a matter of choice.
https://youtu.be/6LyCC6jjcx8?t=3m20s

No matter whether or not your body lives on, after you have hit a barrier of stimulus and experience (experienced just about everything you can) you will start a downwards spiral with your mental health.
Being immortal and what not is fun for a while, but it inevitably becomes a prison, no matter what you do.
Not to mention the fact that this is the best case scenario where you just live on among humans. Imagine a global catastrophe which leaves you alone with at best bacteria to keep you company. An eternity is a pretty long time. Be careful what you wish for.

Actually, that's proven to be nonsense. The deterioration in mental health was linked directly to the physical decay our bodies undergo. Without that there would be no deterioration in mental health. Also, I'm a solitary person and a misanthrope. I don't really care about 99% of people living in this world, believe me.

If I could become immortal right now, I would do so. I'm not some barely-adult teenager who thinks being immortal would be cool because, I dunno, vampires or something. I just literally don't want to die, ever.

Actually, that didnt even cross my mind.

Well, take it as an opinion then, but while there are biological events or issues that can affect your psyche, its impossible to shift mental health on biology alone.
That would mean (amongst the many) that psychologists are doing absolutely nothing and every mental problem can be resolved by a drug.

What would happen once you have experienced all there is?
Drowchan

For one thing, even when you're immortal, it's basically impossible to experience everything there is. New experiences are born every day, and the planet is continuously evolving. Even if our planet would eventually die, I'm quite confident that by then we will have some form of space travel, and then the next limit's the heat-death of the universe, and the time until then is almost impossible to imagine for a human, and it'll all be filled with new experiences.

What would be interesting is to imagine what might happen to an immortal (assuming their immortality also involves invulnerability) after the universe dies. Perhaps THAT would be the point you invariably go mad, but, for me personally, that would be a fair trade-off for the greatly extended time spent alive. Honestly, even if I would go mad after... I don't know, 1000 years, or a little more already, I would consider that a fair trade-off. Realistically speaking, it would be a lot longer than 1000 years, though.

Also, as a sidenote, psychology is still a controversial field. Most accepted mental disorders are indeed traced back to hormonal imbalances. Those that are not... well, your brain can make itself sick, but well, I'd rather have a sick brain than a failing one. I know my opinion is an uncommon one, but I honestly would prefer eternal madness to eternal oblivion. I know religious people believe in a life after death, but well, I don't. I mean, I'm not saying I KNOW there isn't one, because the only people who 'know' can't tell us anymore, but it's what my mind tells me is true, so that's the baseline I have to go off of. Heck, if it turns out I'm wrong and I go to hell for being a non-believer, I'd consider that to be a more pleasant alternative than what I think will happen when I die.

(It's still not a good idea to treat all mental disorders with drugs, by the way, and that INCLUDES the recognized ones that are traced back to some chemical imbalance. Because most of those drugs fix that imbalance only to create new ones, if they fix it at all. I'm not saying psychology is bollocks, it's a field I've studied myself, but we just have to admit there are many things we don't know about how the mind works yet.)

You have an interesting opinion. Makes me wonder about things.
Then again, i for one embrace death like a well earned rest after a day of hard, draining work.
There’s no accounting for taste afterall.

Too true. *nods head in approval of what you have said*

Being immortal isn't you living forever, it's you having to watch the world die around you
Killereye

If it were just so simple! Nope. A mortal made immortal (presumably also granted no-aging and possibly everlasting good health/regeneration/invulnerability) is a cruel joke and a merciless curse played by whoever granted it! First everyone who is around you dies. After the planet can't sustain life, every life dies out. Then with time all creation crumbles. If you had the means and smarts to leave the planet beforehand, it will happen again and again...next step will be, that this immortal will have no means to get to a new place, or isn't going to find life at all. Maybe before that the immortal starts to forget things. Not because of age, but because of solitude, and because the immortal won't know which memory is real and which is fantasy. Slowly the immortal descends into madness, to the point where it isn't going to know reality from fantasy. Eventually the immortal forgets everything, even it's own name. Then when it's mind is broken a new identity rises with a new purpose. A mad god, with questionable power and questionable goals. The once mortal isn't existing anymore, yet the new immortal lives on. In it's new existence, the immortal is truly a God, who lives on, and is above everything...until the planet crumbles below it, and the cold space envelopes the immortal, most likely to drift toward a black hole, where it can exists for eternity, captive, lonely, mad, and miserable...

Immortality is only worth something if you are omnipotent too, but even then, how long a God can amuse itself, when it existed so long, that it's all knowing? Immortality granted to mortals is however a true curse...also seeing the future. But that's another story...

We are saying the same thing
Killereye

I've just added a little self-destruction to it, because that's the next step. But yeah, we did. Yours is the Tl;Dr; version! :)

Mine is the Doctor Who version
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
Poor Doctor. It's long life being a heavy burden shines really in the episode "Lets kill Hitler!" where He begs to the Tardis to give Him an interface company to encourage Him to live on, then as it browsing through His companions, He only feels guilt, and begs "to see someone who He hasn't ruined yet"! Such a heavy burden a long existence is...
NyotaMwuaji

But he helps people. It's who he is
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
It's his hobby...or maybe his addiction. One thing for sure: His a Madman in a box! :3

I like the episode where the TARDIS is put in a person and talks to him
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
Most episodes are fun to watch. I am having a hard time of warming up to Peter Capaldi. He sometimes nails the character of the Doctor, but is too much of an arrogant person...even John Hurt has nailed the War-Doctor perfectly! Poor P.C.
NyotaMwuaji

Everyone plays the doctor differently. The new one is just more cynical.
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
Waaaaaay more cynical. It feels too artificial for me. In the episode "Flatline" when His options (and role) was severely limited, He played the role of the Doctor much better, IMO. Also in "Time Heist". Sometimes, less is more.

You would cave in mentally much sooner. Linked a video above for something to think about.
You literally cant live on without fresh experiences, so unless you get the gift of deleting your memory every few centuries, you would become a literal comatose zombie in a (relatively) short amount of time, because nothing could supply your brain with stimulus.
So even if you could biologically live on endlessly, mentally its impossible.
Your personality, your ego, everything you are would erode in a flash.
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
If however you could omni-sense everything, then your brain has an infinite supply of stimulus...however,too much  memories are not healthy as well, since you won't know what was and what wasn't in the distant past. It's a gateway to madness. That's why the thinking of the Gods are so alien/different from that of mortals. They can handle the ultimate knowledge or enjoy their own madness, but a mortal made immortal is bound to "get rekt"! :/

However, a powerful undead can handle it pretty well, because it's mind matters not with such thing as stimulus. It's fueled by a purpose or a goal, and every now and then the hatred toward living things so It can do relatively well, being fixated on a few things and never needing anything else, nor the many things the living would need. Demi Liches are such creatures, fixated on learning arcane magic, and planes-walking if a dimension offers nothing more to learn. However, they are only fixated on magic-learning, so they forget their home-plane, their name, and they can't feel a thing, being undead...They are just a floating, ill-tempered, powerful lexicon of arcane knowledge, better left undisturbed.
Labyrias

Hmm, quite an interesting idea you have there.
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
The Demi-Lich is a D&D monster, one of the most powerful form of undead ever plaguing the lands of many worlds.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich_(Dungeons_%26_Dragon...

Just saying that Voldemort and his hoarcrux stuff, was essentially a rip-off of the Lich and it's phylactery. If Voldemort was indeed a Lich, then he would be the weakest of it's kind, not even able to defeat a mere child...or get back to life on it's own. A true disgrace of any normal Liches around the Realms.
Labyrias

Yeah, afterwards he was bullied a lot in the afterlife with "babys first haunt".
The fact that he no longer had a nose, didnt help either.
Killereye
8 years, 2 months ago
The no-nose supposed to achieve an inhuman effect...such a failure it was.

You guys do know eternal youth simply means you stay your current age. It dose not mean your immortal. neither dose it make you invulnerable
