Living for infinity IS living for a very, very long time, as you'd never actually reach infinity.Tobbe wrote:spiraldoor wrote:No, I don't agree with anything you said there. I'm not the kind to get bored easily, but if I did, I wouldn't "spend every waking moment wishing I was dead". Instead, I'd go play a PlayStation game for a few hours. Or read a book. Or go to the cinema, or watch a DVD. Or browse the internet (which currently has enough stuff on it to keep me interested for thousands of years, setting aside the fact that it grows daily). Who knows, maybe I'd go somewhere with some friends. All good things. Such an existence seems far from "unbearable and meaningless" to me...I'd be more likely to describe it as 'ideal'.Tobbe wrote:And you.spiraldoor wrote:To you, perhaps.Tobbe wrote:I have problems with understanding why you fear being dead. I can understand that you fear the dying bit, but after you're dead you won't have the ability to care anymore. I also think it's absurd that anyone would want to live forever. You would succumb to unbearable boredome within the first couple of thousand years, and you'd end up spending every waking moment wishing you were dead.Our lives have meanings only because our time is finite. An endless existance would be unbearable and meaningless.
'Thousans of years' is still an infinitely small fraction of infinity. Admit it, living for an infinite amount of time would be terrible. Living for a very, very long time is something completely different all together (and it would be awesome).

No. One is infinite. One is finite.
