If you were immortal...

If you were immortal what would you do in life? When I say immortal, I mean you are just can't age, you can still be shot, get poisoned, drown ect.

    I would travel the world, do everything that can be done, but I'd probably just get sad along the way.

    Do all the things I'd never have the time to learn in just one lifetime.

    Learn to play many musical instruments to a professional level.

    Learn all types of swordfighting. Archery, staff, spear, all types of weapons. Master unarmed fighting.

    Learn to be a crack shot/quickdraw. Be the one person who's an expert at firing every weapon there is.

    Study painting and art to a masterful level.

    Learn to be an ace pilot, the best driver, the best horse rider

    The list could go on and on.

    Basically I'd have the time to excel at everything I'd find interesting, instead of being the enthusiastic amateur I am at most things.

      Good answer, I was wondering what kind of problems we would have in that type of universe, if lets say everyone was immortal. Likely similar ones to ours but I'm not sure.

    Visit every place now, then do it again in the future and compare. But I would never want to be immortal so I know that eventually I would end up killing myself.

    I don't know what I'll do but I probably won't dedicate my etrnal life to helping the poors or any other good stuff. Maybe I would abuse of drugs.

    I'd be a bit annoyed because it'd mean I could never retire. I'd always have to be working to pay the bills. Although I could swizz the pension company and just not tell them I'm immortal.

    To take your question literally, if I really stopped aging, I think I'd be of great interest to everyone because probably most people would like to know how I'm doing it, how I'm not aging. So I think that Science people would want to study me and should they be able to figure out how I'm doing it, to share that with the rest of the world. I'd make myself available for study. If they figured out how I'm accomplishing the not aging thing and then if they discovered how to make that ability available to others I think I'd be happy about that. But at that point I think it would suddenly become a thing that is clearly wildly valuable beyond belief, the ability to transfer the not aging thing to others, and I think the horrible world of patents and copyrights in this country would rear its ugly head as everybody would want to be able to cash in on it, and the science folk want their piece in perpituity, and powerful people without anything invested in it would probably come along and try to garner some control over it, and i think religion would come along and try to strap it down with ridiculous rules as they do everything, and so I think it would be quite a thing. But, yes, if I could be able to tell my most beloved family and friends that I could share that secret with them and have them in my life for as long as possible, longer than I'd ever be able to dream of before, then yes, I'd share it with the world.

    To be honest if I were immortal I think I would get really lonely.

    I wouldn't want to be immortal, maybe just extend life a bit ( without aging, wrinkling, bone/ muscle depreciation..) to like an extra hundred yrs or so...then I would want to travel the world & learn as much as possible from all walks of life & spend as much time possible with those dearest to me...

    You shouldn't really expect to live more than thousands of years, especially if you plan on using cars. You know, if you lived long enough and couldn't die and had reasonable limits to how much pain you could feel (from thirst, hunger etc.), you could see every square meter of Earth. After you've lived long enough, you could see what every square meter of Earth looks like at every time of day and year, even places that get snow only once every 100 years, with snow. If you had perfect memory, that would be something.

    I would visit every place and see the world.

    Learn things and try to reach enlightenment.

    but I would never want to be immortal. I look forward to death. It's relief.

    I guess I'd see the future and compare. Seems like something I would do especially since I do it now, and I haven't even lived that long.

    Immortal.. .meaning I can't kill myself.

    I would become the leader of the world and start my own religion which revolves around a unity man kind.

    No differences, no bias, no racism etc.

    Some will say im the in line with the devil who gruanted me eternal life.

    Some will say im the Masiah who has returned to earth to introducte the end of days.

    But I will say that miralces can happen and if you disagree with me then so be it. As your phsyical body rots in its grave I will remain to enjoy the fruits of pleasure allbeit sexual or not.

    I will endavour to find cures for diseases and ban the use of firearms.

    I would be a one man army since nobody can kill me and I am Immortal.

    I would find a hot chick and make immortal babies with her.

    I will go to Japan and start a new Harajuku trend called "Immoltalbabies desu".
