We live in a world where people come and go like day and night. Somewhere people celebrate the birth of a baby and in some place else people mourn the death of a loved one. That is part and parcel of life.
Maybe I've been watching too much TV or reading too much fiction but one question which popped into mind today was whether or not I wanted to be immortal?
I'm kinda scared of dying. yes, I know that it's stupid and completely irrational but ever since my near-death experience I have been a bit fearful of that fact that I might die any moment. I seriously am not ready to die... When I die, I want to have lived; really LIVED. I want to have skydived, traveled the world, gone scuba diving in the Great Barrier and done so much more! I want to die happy with a fulfilled life and I want my life to have meant something, I want to have created memories which will last forever and have made a difference in the world.
So my answer to the question...is NO. I wouldn't want to be immortal. I have no intention of living forever. I wouldn't want to watch all my loved ones disappear off the face of the earth one by one. I wouldn't want to be all alone.
So my dear Grim Reaper, please hold on because I'm not ready to die just yet. And to all my fellow bloggers and anyone who stumbles upon my blog and is bothered to read it, carpe diem! :D
