Immortality. A blessing or a curse?

The inability to die from anything, not even your own hand. You simply exist in a world where everything has an expiration date. Every friend you will have or people you will love will always end up dying and leaving you alone. Fear of anything becomes a ridiculous concept to you, you cannot be harmed after all so what is there left to fear? Of course you have to keep your secret a secret otherwise they will capture you and you will become their lab rat. You have t be on the move so that people don't realize that you do not age.
After a while time become a blur, years, decades and century go by in a heartbeat. The lives of others lose their worth because you know the inevitable. You cannot be caught or sentenced to prison for long periods of time otherwise your secret will be known. Every accident you will have your bring attention to you because your survival will always be miraculous in the eyes of medicine.
Is this a blessing or a curse? To live eternally. To see history repeat itself over and over by new generations that have learned nothing from the previous ones. To forever be left alone in grief only to realize it will happen over and over again until you feel nothing at all...

Probably a curse cus you gotta die to get reborn in all the other life existences, so by not dying as human you're missing out.

Its the worst curse I can imagine, theres only so much you can do in this universe. The limitations it places on you are very real, and it itself is programmed for death from what we can ascertain. To watch the eons pass you by and be left in the darkness of a void for an eternity. I couldnt imagine a worse fate.

Curse for sure. I think the average human's life is just about right. I'm not sure I'd want to be around much longer than that. Shit would just get so repetitive and dull. Not to mention being immortal in a world full of mortals.

So you'd live beyond the end of the earth? Like what happens when the sun burns out and stuff? You just float in space? Fuck that. Otherwise it'd be cool.

I think I'd rather die tomorrow than live forever. It would get so boring. Think about it, when you're a kid, everything is fun or interesting and the older you get, the more work you have to put into entertaining yourself. Imagine 500 or 1000 years down the line how hard it would be to find anything at all to do that wasn't boring and entirely uninspiring.
Imagine how bitter and cold of a person you'd become after dozens or hundreds of normal life spans worth of pain, suffering and loss. Why bother trying to find love when you know you'll just live to watch it disappear in the blink of an eye. The older you get the faster time seems to go by and there's a reason for that. Imagine that effect after 500 years. You'd fall in love and what feels like one week to you now later, you'd be watching her wither and die. Destined to forever be alone.
Fuck all that.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Id say its a mixed blessing 
More blessing than curse cause you could literally do everything Earth has to offer and experience things that no one person could have (as in experience it all).
You would see the beginning and ending of time. Sure, seeing your friends and family die over and over would be painful, but hey, u could have infinite childern forever!
Imagine having billions of childern. You would be like a God

The whole thing about existence as a human is that when we drift back to the cosmic ocean and become everything it evenautlly gets boring and lonely. That's why we manifest ourselves into the individual ego. It's like a human vacation from the cosmic reality. I've experienced the pinnacle of consciousness and it was scary and lonely.

I feel that if you want others opinion on the matter maybe don't make your first post where you obviously have the opinion of it being a curse. I've noticed a trend around here, the first few posts seem to direct the way the thread goes... If someone posts about a break up and the first few posts are calling the dude a pussy everyone else seems to adopt that opinion and that's the way the thread goes. If the first few posts are sympathetic then the majority of other posters are also sympathetic.
Just saying... Probably better if you're looking for real opinions instead of influenced ones.

Totally a curse. We tend to think of immortality on a fairly micro scale. "Yeah it would be pretty monotonous after 10000 years." 10000 years? Imagine what it would be like in 350 billion when the sun goes nova and you are blasted off floating through space for 450 trillion years before you hit a random comet. You then live forever on the comet.

Balance in everything. Something can only be as great as it is terrible, exactly as much is taken as it is received. I'm a firm believer that "happiness is not a fish that you can catch," that being said it's my belief that I'd be a major pussy to not see what a blessing it would be to watch the world roll by, if that was my fate. it's not though, so as many have us have experienced, it's a lot easier to judge someone/something when it's not you.

Also to answer your question... For me it would be both. I am the loner type, I dont like people close to me, I hate it in fact. As a geologist, I would love to watch the world change BUT I have children and watching them go would be a curse.

you'd also watch humanity evolve into more and more advanced forms as you get left behind as some kind of neolithic relic. I imagine that'd become kind of embarrassing after a while.

We aren't going to grow more thumbs or an extra dick. I think it's pretty clear that if you simplify the idea like that you still end up with a lifeform that evolved to the point that we as a race became above evolution through technology. I don't see how those benefits wouldn't be relevant to the lifeform in question.

I dont know, I think it'd be hard not to when everyone around you is some super advanced cybernetic hybrid and you're this ancient thing that can barely break 10mph in a full sprint.
They'd probably end up tossing you in a zoo and gawking at you for an eternity 
And Im just seriously exploring the idea. Most people are all "yay I wouldnt die" without really thinking of the consequences.

Well said Pnut.
Knowledge is invaluable.
So what if u could live forever? Maybe u could find a place in the world thats totally peaceful and just hang out there for a couple thousand years and "chill" when the Earth gets too crazy

An obvious curse and a burden
To see everyone you'll ever know die, never to make any friends or family because of the pain of watching them die
I imagine eventually you'd become numb to all human interaction and go insane

I'd rather just be invincible with the power to bring on the apocalypse

You're immortal, you would get way more than 72 virgins.

What if you're immortal but you continue to age so when you're like 700 you're basically just a living shambling corpse

To see everyone you'll ever know die, never to make any friends or family because of the pain of watching them die
I imagine eventually you'd become numb to all human interaction and go insane
I wouldn't mind watching everyone I know die of old age. I would rather watch them die than them watch me die actually.

Reality by it's very nature is a temporal and subjective state of being and a cog in what I believe is an infinite cosmic machine. Trying to immortalize it feels...wrong to me.
I fear death just as much as anyone, if not a little more(yay anxiety!) than anyone, don't get me wrong..but the idea of immortality seems...oddly disturbing to me, it would be a very painful thing imo, sure it would be interesting to see the world change, but man..idk, trying to turn this superficial existence into something permanent and unchanging..no bueno.
Though I think it's great that medical research is actively extending our time on this earth every day. One thing to consider about longer lives is that a species birth rate has to be balanced in proportion to that species life span. If certain insects or rodents lived for 80 years and their reproduction rates were still the same then the species would overpopulate, decimate resources, and go extinct - we are certainly not excluded from that reality.

You know how time sped up from when you were a child. I wonder if that would become more and more pronounced as the eons rolled by. If time is relative what if your perception of it eventually sped up to the point where you watched stars birth and die in mere moments before your eyes.

If someone offered me Immortality I sure the hell would take it, because I know that sneaky person offering it would take it themselves if I didn't! And I sure wouldn't allow that to happen.
