What is it like to be Immortal?

Being Immortal?

Have you ever thought of being immortal? In stories, magicians and emperors are always seeking a way to immortality. But is immortality really brings what we think of it?

Let's see. A boy who is ten-year-old, experiences one year as the same as 10 percent of his life. To his mother, who is around forty-year-old, a year is about 2.5 percent of what she lived.

The very same year with merely 365 days can feel different to different people. If we live till we are 95, that will be about 35,000 days. If our boy manages to live for 35,000 years, a year to him would feel like a day.

Being immortal, if this boy's emotions bore the likely boredom of existing for hundreds or thousands of years, he may still become very very lonely and sad for the fact that he has, and will always outlive every person he has ever been with.

Would You Have Immortal Memories? 

How will you manage your memories? Do you remember whatever you did last year, or a year before that? How many things from your past have you already forgotten? If you bother recalling what you did a couple of years back, how will you be able to remember things if you stay alive for hundreds of years?

We ain't not remember every detail from our past because our minds have a short capacity of remembering useless things. Thus, we replace worthless memories like middle school classmates name with important new information.

If our immortal boy wins a girl and falls in love with, once every hundred years, he would meet and say goodbye to ten thousand girlfriends in a million years. And how many of those 10,000 girls' names will he be likely to remember? Would there be enough place for tattooing names?

Could you Match Fashion?

One more critical point about being immortal is that human beings have not looked the same as they look now. Taking Darwin’s theory of evolution into picture, for example, if women feel taller men more handsome, then tall men would be more likely to mate and have children, putting more tall genes ahead. This indicates that in the coming age, most men and women will have taller genes. Continue in this manner and after a million years, the average height will be much taller as compared to the average height today.

Our ancestors were short, hairy apes. We, however, have body hair but we no more look like apes. If you happen to be the only immortal guy on Earth, passing through generations, while the people around you keep evolving, you will eventually look pretty different than your surrounding company. If any of our respected ancestors, apes, would still be alive today, how many people will make friends with it? Maybe an anthropologist would understand your feelings then.

Does Immortality Guarantees Wellbeing?

One added physical tolerance while being immortal is, MARKS. In fact, immortality doesn’t come with free invincibility, immortality simply means you cannot die. But it doesn’t promise to keep you alive in a well maintained, pleasing condition.

Have a glance in the mirror and count how many marks you have made already. If you have this many permanent marks so far in your life, guess how much damage you would have if you were a thousand years old. Thus, if you been living for over a million years, the odds of still holding all your limbs are pretty slim.

Also, shouldn't something be said about your tiny attachments, your toes, fingers, ears, and eyes or nose? And obviously, your teeth. What are the chances of you retaining the health of your teeth, or even retaining your teeth if you live for a thousand years? THen THousanD years? With this, you may end up appearing like a terrifying scraped up Mr Potato Head with lost pieces of its furniture.
