Decay is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
I hope I die before I get old.
I have watched so many of my friends and family die already through my lifetime, I don't know that the bonus of never growing old myself would be a negative. But I want to go back to a younger me if that is the case. You may lose people you love but that does not mean you won't make new friends and find new lovers. I think that adventure is worth living for, if it were only possible.Haven't you live-forever people read Heinlein's Methuselah novels, in which people who live hundreds of years are not only persecuted by those with normal lifespans but watch their spouses, children, everyone they ever love age, wither, and die?
