(Not) Living Forever

Natural instinct (and the loss of it due to experiences of life) is one of the reasons I wouldn’t want to live forever. I was thinking about this recently and ideally I would have a chance to do everything and learn everything in the world. All fields of knowledge interest me and there are a great many amazing things to do in the world (and further, out of this world), but I think part of the amazing thing in life is selecting only the things you want most. There are any number of thoughts that I think express this well (if I had more time I would have written a shorter speech). In addition to that, people change as they grow, your entire life is a process, and I don’t know what’s going to happen but I don’t want it to last forever. Not now at least. Everything dies and I think that’s the way it should be. Plus some of the thoughts I’ve been tossing around in my head about death and stuff are really interesting (to me) and part of those thoughts requires death. It’s a part of life (oddly enough) and it’s not necessarily bad.
