I am the first to admit, that I am thanatophobic. I am absolutely terrified of the very idea of my own eventual death. Despite that, would an eternal life here on Earth be any better?
People speak of how they wish to be immortal, and only die eventually through violence. Why? What is the point of it honestly?
I for one, would not wish to love and lose all that I care about time after time for all eternity. I would not wish to see the world continue down it's spiral towards inevitable loss and destruction.
Yet, many others wish this. I wonder if they ponder the consequences of what they wish.

Immortality, in my opinion, is a bad idea. I believe in reincarnation, so I seeit a little differently - each life has a purpose, and it wouldn't make any sense to keep living the same life eternally. As for people who want to be immortal, I imagine they wuold get tired of it eventually. Or get worn down by experiencing so much loss, like you said. I wonder how long it would take though. I wouldn't want to keep living this life forever, but I don't think I'd mind having a few hundred years to explore it.
