Who wants to live forever?

I always liked this song, always. Even before I actually thought what those words say.

"But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today"

In essence who wants to live forever when love must die?

No one, except love can not die. Above words from song paints that picture perfectly...

I'm a big Highlander fan - the series more so than the movies. I think it touches a hidden knowing in us - that we have all lived many lives in many times and places, with loves, losses, dramatic moments, tedium, tragedy, the works.

Moxie · 12-29-2009, 03:43 AM

yes, "forever" has everything to do with time.
Time is arbitrary except in a fixed frame as we have in this world.

mudra · 12-29-2009, 12:02 PM

Anyone who has waded
Through Love's turbulent waters,
Now feeling hunger and now satiety,
Is untouched by the season
Of withering or blooming,
For in the deepest
And most dangerous waters,
On the highest peaks,
Love is Always the same.

Love Always

i do ...i am...

You do...You are..

We do... We are...

No matter anyones opinion....or belief system... Love is one constant that prevails.

Even when Love hurts.. Love is present...non?

Love is the emotional manifestation of the beauty inside us

Be beautiful...Feel Beautiful...

Be Love...Feel Love...

I would not like to live forever in this body and in this planet but if I have evolved and I can shape shift at will and become an orb that travels to any place in the omniuniverse yeah! I will like to live forever...free from constrictions...free from limitations...free from needs and wants

Love

How long is forever? A million years...or really and truly forever? If we live for a million years...and then cease to exist...will that be a lot of work for nothing? If this is the case...does life really have any significant meaning presently? If there was no life beyond the grave...would it be worth it to continue the evolutionary process? The show must go on...but why? If we live forever...will we be able to remember all of our previous existences? If we can't remember...then was any of it really worthwhile? I presently feel very insecure about the state of my soul. There have been (and continue to be) so many lies about just about everything...that I really have very little faith in anyone or anything. I once spoke with Dr. Edgar Mitchell regarding life after life (and not about the Moon)! John Lear has some interesting things to say regarding the soul and the Moon (after the soul leaves it's 'container')! This subject is a grey-area!

I do want to live forever...but the following must be present:

1. Eternal Life.
2. Eternal Memory.
3. Eternal Intelligence and Responsible Freedom.
4. The Absence of Extreme Suffering Over Long Periods of Time.

Is this too much to ask? Otherwise...I'm easy.

The following is a grave gravestone engraving:

"Stop my friend...as you pass by.
As you are now...so once was I.
As I am now...you will surely be.
So prepare yourself...to follow me."

The Agnostic's Prayer:

"Oh Dear God (if there is a God)
Save My Soul (if I have a soul)"

Namaste

Right on with you there!

I don`t want to live forever if it will be a life without love.
Without love I am nothing.

lucrum · 12-30-2009, 11:56 AM

I believe we all live forever in one way or another, but I would not want to live forever in this world.

Life expectancy of 80+ years is more than good enough for me around here.

mudra · 12-30-2009, 12:59 PM

"]

Love boundless ..
Love selfless ..
Endless Love..
Timeless Love..
this is our divine immortality .

Love Always

The planet is great but when your soul mate is somewhere else then mortality alone would not be much fun

Great answer swanny...i would love to hear the story...but perhaps a better place and a better time is called for...

Swanny · 12-30-2009, 07:21 PM

And imagine of your legs fell off and you still had to stay here forever

where ever you are...

Swanny · 12-30-2009, 11:04 PM

You'd need a body that could regenerate or be totality immune to any type of damage if you were going to live forever on this physical world.
We would all need to be supermen and women

Céline · 12-30-2009, 11:12 PM

Sometimes i can feel myself outside this body....no limbs...no skin...just my spirit...free...

i am living forever.... how about You?

Swanny · 12-31-2009, 11:30 AM

Yea we all live forever, but I'd like to travel a bit rather than just stay on one planet

They did have some anthems and some beautiful tunes...
In life that is forever I believe the beings are creating some music since it would be utter boring in eternity without music...

Everyone does already live forever! ('tis merely your body that has a finite life!)

Humble Janitor · 01-01-2010, 07:28 AM

I'm not sure I'd want to carry on in physical form, especially when my body eventually falls apart.

It's much more worthy in spiritual form.
