It is easy to say that I want to live forever, but specifically I want to be ME forever. I am not a believer in an afterlife where I am able to be myself... at best I would just be recycled into energy with no personality or ego left.
Understood. But maybe afterlife doesn't exist at all? At least our consciousness is not preserved, who knows. The interesting fact is: we all will know when we die!
I want to be ME forever
Will you be YOU forever? Throughout our live we change, we see the world, and ourselves differently when we are 10, 20, 40, 60 years old. How will this progress when we reach 200 years, and what about 2.000 years old. And that is still far far far away from eternal, so what about 1.000.000 years old?
I'm not in the for sure YES camp, because I would reach an age of 100.000.000 years, which is unimaginable by me what it means to live for that long knowing that 100.000.000 years will also become 100.000.000.000.000 years old. That is such a great factor older than what we have to deal with currently.
Yes I will always be me forever, because I am. Things that I can observe about myself can change, will change and have changed. But I am not the things I can observe. I am me, and I will always be as long as I live.
