And if we lived for centuries we'd get miffed we didn't get to participate in ice ages and epochs. It's all too relative. Trees, dogs, flies and bacteria are interesting lifespans to try out.
I like Viktor Frankl's idea that life has no meaning UNLESS it is finite.
So I'd like to live longer, sure, that's fine. But literally forever?
How about someone lets me get started on the first few hundred years to try it out, and I'll decide later when I'm better informed :-)
