It depends on what physical and mental condition I spend all my years at. How will your outlook on life change? Part of human nature is it changes over different stages, as a kid everything is wonderful, new and you have fun all day. You can just play with legos for months and love it. Thats something you can't do later on, no matter how expensive a toy is, you just get bored a lot quicker. As a young person you like adventure, even if your not that type of person you still do it a lot more than when you grow older.

As you come to middle aged, mature, often wanting to settle down into secure and what used to be exciting isn't. When you get old you reflect on your life. I coudln't stomach spending thousands of years reflecting on what I did during my first 60.

With how fast people are inventing new technologies their should be new ones coming out to keep myself interested. I do like reading history and I am very curious to know what will happen hundreds of years from now and how people would be living.

Even with that the worry is things that might look like big changes now become dull and nothing special after thousands of years. When the US collapses it would be very interesting the first time it happens, but after seeing new systems of government and empires take over it dozens of times would it still?

Another key matter is do some of your loved ones have it too. If your the only one it would become sad and very lonely whenever you make friends, fall in love, have children they die off. Even when someone lives to be 100 that can be a real bummer, your spouse is dead, all your friends are, you still have children and their offspring but its not the same thing.
