Mortal thoughts!......

[imhotep]

Before I start with my question,I would just like to say that where I live,the sky outside is quite eerie.Earlier this evening, the moon in the sky looked really spooky and eerie,as it peeped through the wisps of cloud.It was also fairly low in the sky.At one time you could just see the glow emanating from the edge of a darker and thicker cloud.Now it is drizzling just a little bit,and is not too cold.

How long would you like to live for?

Hmmm,I think most people would like to remain young and never grow old and get wrinkly skin.No offence to any old timers that do use AB.
But,I was thinking, if there are people like me who don't really like to grow old,if there was a kind of medicine or potion that was created which would make you immortal and never grow old,would you take it?
It may never happen of course,as scientists would then be playing God and could create havoc across the world.Our planet would then be over-populated and could not then sustain everyone.So,that is the downside of being immortal.
Although,it would be nice to live forever,but only until a certain age perhaps.I know death awaits us all at sometime in future.It is a scary thought I know.But, I just wondered what you folk think about being mortal or immortal.Would you take the potion to remain young?
Maybe some people would like to remain mortal.

Hmmm, death doesnt await me.
I think i am immortal.
I have been in many accidents and come out alive.
Had loads of near misses.
I think i am like captain scarlet...

[legendis.god]

and recycled as food like in soylent green


poor edgar g robinson made into green food bars

Watch out for the mysterons!!!

hi imhotep, I saw the spooky moon too :o)

mortal is fine by me, but I'd like to preserve my youthful(ish) looks until the time comes. I think when you're really getting on it might be quite nice to think of closing your eyes and drifting away...

a bit morbid, maybe, but that's how I feel.

and you??

[Aprilis]

I'd love a potion that'd make me look youthful, but I don't want to be immortal.

I love the moon and clouds when they look eerie that way imho.

[MrBen5]

i think you lot are the mysterons, out to get me...

[imhotep]

Euuuugh! I'm not so sure about that Legend.

That sounds a really nasty thought about being killed and turned into fodder.........

No thanks! I don't want to end up like edgar g robinson.....
LOL

[imhotep]

If you really must know tobonkbunnys I haven't been on the skunk.The only thing I've had tonight is a glass of apple bacardi,and that's all.

Oooh,hello sara.How you doing hun?
Looks like I have the same thoughts as you about this topic.
I agree,I would like to take a potion to retain my youthful(ish) looks.
If and when I have to go,I would like to pass away peacefully in my sleep.That's the way my father went last year.
Hi Aprilis,have you had a good weekend so far?

[JonnyBoy12]

I side with Aprilis on this one. I do not want to grow old, but would not want to be immortal. There is a potion which can make people more attracted to you though.......it is called alcohol.

[Aprilis]

Yeah, can't complain imho. It's been fairly peaceful. Went to visit my brother today in The Priory and he seemed on reasonably good form. I hope they help him to recover from whatever it is that troubles him so much that he ended up in there in the first place.

[Aprilis]

lol @ johnny!

[imhotep]

This seems a very apt song by Celine Dion.
Hope you enjoy listening to it.
