Hello everyone here! I hope you are doing well and that your day went well too.

Would I want to live forever?
I don't think so, or maybe, for some important reason, I would say yes.
I have two answers to this question, and I have some reasons for those answers.
I would want to live forever because I have so many plans for humanity and my life as well.
If I lived forever, I would add to some of the plans for humanity and myself.
It is always said that life brings hope, and if I lived, I would think of new things to do to enhance the lives of humans.
Forever is a long time, and living forever means living without dying. I used to think deeply about my old age.
What if I grow old and can't walk anymore and start depending on people to live with me? God forbid! I hate surviving out of pity, so I would choose death if that happened.
I would not want to live more than it is supposed to, so as not to become useless, not contributing to anything on earth.
Some people become old, but they are still agile and strong.
But some people become very old before they grow old.
I would not want to experience that, so I would choose death.
At a particular age in my life, I would be resting from working physically unless impacting knowledge in people, because that is the only thing old people do because they may not have the strength to do physical work again, so they sit and impact society with their knowledge about life.
Having to live without impacting anyone's life is something I'm avoiding, so I do not want to live very long.
Having a long life means living well and doing something to help other people live well too. Being great does not mean having to live; it means living to impact lives.
I would not want to live forever because I don't want to suffer. As the days go by, life becomes very hard and demanding, so living forever would open me up to something I would not want to live and see.
I would not want to live forever because I would want to die and go and rest. After all, it is very important to have everlasting rest.
People who live well and die leave behind legacies for people who are still alive.
People should die after they have finished their purpose on earth so that other people who are living after them will be strong enough to carry on with their legacies.
If I live forever, it will be very hard for my children or other people who are following after me to live well, because they will think that I will still be there to guide them, and at that time I won't be able to inculcate in them the value I have.
After I lost my mom, I saw life from another perspective.
But had it been she was still here, the truth is that I would not be this stronger and wiser.
I miss her, though, and I don't wish for her to come back again.
Living forever may not have a good impact on me, but I would want to live a little bit longer.
