"Is Immortality a Fate Worse than Death? Your immortality. You will forever be 30, there are no physical health issues, you are just physically healthy and efficiently immortal."
If you ask your friends this question, I don't really think the answer matters, how they come up with their answer what really matters. Yes/No answer is generally not interesting, but arguments are.
I find that there could only be two converging answers, either a yes or a no. How people explains their answer will reflect how much they've experienced and where their values are in life.
Let's start by the "Yes" answers. I expect the argument "What about the feeling of outliving literally everyone you love?" to come around oftenly. As the person asks you this question, your response will reflect how much you may actually value those person that you outlived. In a strict setting, if your spouse asks you this question, It's probably almost instinctual to say "Yes", since the result of the answer will affect your relationship and how your spouse will see you as a person and her whereabouts in your life. The answer to the question is irrelevant and stand pale to the possible consequences you may indur had you say "No."
However, I beg you to think about this question wholeheartedly and to be as unbiassed as possible. Do you really think immortality is a faith worse than death? It's 1 AM as I'm writing this, when I was eating dinner I kept thinking about this question and my imaginative scenarios that if I ask these to my friends, I think most of them will say yes. I can't help but thinking the answer yes is sort of implying that there's a certain thershold of emotional pain that a human can endure, to the point that suicide becomes reasonable in a face of the gift of immortality.
After all, how many relationships must you forge and lose? How many people you have seen loved you and leave you? How much of "moving-on" you need to endure as your multi-decade relationships have left you? Where is your meaning of life? Is it you? Is it them? Or is it how the time you spent with them has made you feel beautiful? Is immortality really a good thing?
Here's a more appearing influential biasses, if the person you asked, has ever experienced the death of a loved one. The immense and intense feeling just from the sudden realization that you are never going to see them again, then the feelings just sunk more deeply as more thoughts about them that you realize that you need to forget or move on for a lack of a better word.
Then comes this more interesting question, "Does the finiteness of life that actually brings everlasting value to life? As if value will inevitably decrease when it comes to immortality."
You will literally have all the time in the world, you are infinitely physically healthy, the saying "The best time to do X is now", it never really matters, it never does, there's literally no difference between yesterday and tomorrow.
I'm in a rush right now, so I need to wrap this article up hastily.
IF we agree to the answer to the question is yes. It sort of implies that death is in a roundabout way--the best option we could have out of any other option. For without the impending nature of death, we would surely kill ourselves bearing the cross of immortality. Everything stops making sense, everything is equally meaningless, you will do it all over again, you will do it a thousand times, there are no urgency, there are no risk in making decisions, there are simply no stake, no thrill, there's no strong reason to do things when you know you can always do it tomorrow.
The frailty of our existence is both the blessing and the curse, and such of this context, you can't have a blessing of life and what life has to offer without the curse of death, how much familiar and painful it is for us. Death is somehow the only leverage that actually makes what we do right now worth while, otherwise, we simply couldn't ask it to end any other way.
