Pros and Cons of Being Immortal

We all wish we could live forever, but do we really want to?  Like most everything in life, being immortal has its pros and cons.  So, let's break it down and see if it is truly worth it.

Pros

  • You never die, duh.
  • You would have lived through and seen history's most memorable moments.
  • You would be insanely wealthy by just depositing a couple bucks in a savings account and letting it sit there for a hundred years.
  • You could experience everything you wish you would want to see or do.
  • You could jump off of building, run in front of train, become a crime fighter, or risk your life in any number of imaginable ways without worrying about the consequences to your health.
  • Depending on when you started your life, you could convince people you were a god.


Cons

  • Everyone you ever knew and/or loved will grow old and die while you stay the same age.
  • You would have to hide your immortality from everyone so you don't end up being endlessly studied by those who would want to exploit it.
  • There's a good chance you would end up floating through a void of nothingness when the universe ends.
  • You never die.

So, what did we learn?  I'm not sure.  I honestly don't know what I would want.  Maybe if I could live for a couple hundred of years, I would definitely take it, but forever?  Sounds like it would kind of suck.  In conclusion, we learned nothing.  You're welcome.

"This is how rich you would be though."
