Hii, I hope you are well. :)

Honestly, I would not like to live forever.

Everything has a beginning and everything has an end, just for a reason.

A long life has its advantages, but also its disadvantages.

The advantage is that we would not die and we would live long, but do is it something that would make us happy..?

We would be old, of course.

Maybe, we would have our own health problems that we could not solve.

The world is a miracle, today everything in the world is happening.

We were all created on this earth to live, and so died and returned to the creator.

In my imagination, world would be much more beautiful if we all lived long, we would not lose those closest to us, we would not worry about death, disease and everything else on earth.. but when I understand better, let us surrender to fate.

This is my most honest opinion.

I hope it helped, have a nice day!!

Answer:

I absolutely want to live forever, and I wish every person I love felt the same way.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A paradoxical slowing of the population growth rate because people who live longer start having children later, enough later dampen the exponential effect of having children far more than the linear affect of not dying adds to the population.

2. Vast increase in productivity and wealth. Right now we have to acquire excess over our 40 productive years so we can survive our 20 declining ones. Imagine not having to store away the excess, not to be in the 20 year expensive declining phase. Huge free up in economics.

3. Right now war remains a reasonable choice when the risk is only 30 or so productive years of life. When it's 100s of productive years, few will want to take that risk.

I understand why others don't want to live forever. They have been conditioned to see it as hubris, as tied to evil, and as somehow a tradeoff against humanity. But these were stories. If you go back in your past and examine the stories you'll realize they were done by people with little interest in really understanding how these things would play out, just an interest in getting you scared enough to buy the book or movie ticket.
