Destiny can create a hungry war that can devour the entire world. Destiny chooses our fate.

Nice to finally get back on topic, I always seem to arrive late in these discussions.....anyway moving on.

Fear of death, an eternal blackness, with no thoughts or memories, not even enough energy left in your brain to be aware of the nothingness.....its a very scary thing and it makes us very curious and wanting for eternal life.

However, living forever is an impossible concept. Everything in the universe has a finite existence. Its just a proven fact of how things are. Its very sad and sometimes scary but its a fact you have to learn to live with. But I am also willing to entertain the idea of living forever.

I dont think the human mind can really wrap around the idea of forever and eternity. We have words for the concept, but to have a begginning with no end is not feasible. On a simpler scale, populations would explode out of control, people would act in selfish and destructive manners without fear for death. Bordom would be rampant. Without a death, life would be pointless. We just just exist and thats all. Maybe in a few thousand years you can live out all the self endulgant fantasies that you have always wanted. Maybe you could accomplish great things in more time. But in the realm of eternity, 1000 years or 100,000 years or 100 trillion years....it means nothing but a speck of sand. Eternity exist outside of time so your concept of time is flawed. And as you can see. the universe is destined to become a cold dark place of misery and lonliness. I reccommend you enjoy the time you have and just be ready for what lies beyond our understanding

In someways death may also hold all the answers to life. Wouldnt you feel like a big idiot holding on and clinging to life for so long and when you finally die a torturous death millions of years from now all your human friends are made of spiritual energy waiting on the other side of a demensional gap with all the answers you have been looking for in life. Think about it.

But really, there is not such thing as eternal life, not all the technology in the world would make that possible. So if you are eventually gonna die anyway and there is no avoiding that.....just let nature take its course and realize and humans are stupid creatures and maybe natures plan should be followed because it is wise.

Unless you mean energy, which is always constant.

the stuff we're made off, is constantly changing. It's been estimated that all of the cells in your body have been replaced by the time you're 20 years old.

So if by "you" you mean the physical matter you're made of, no, you're constantly changing.

If by "you" you mean the physical structure of your systems, that is constantly changing too. In fact, death isn't too different from what we experience all the time.

this world will always be so much more complex then we can ever technologically step towards . i believe exsistence will always be a universe behind because exsistence will always be a universe ahead of itself knowledge - wise and we will never catch up to ourselfs because we have already went far beyond ourselfs and we all are just the after thought of a really haywireery flash back and ts like the tortoise and the heir and i believe that to be the future .and it's quite an eternal result. all we do is make useless inventions and :the sui of the cide: ourselfs away. who knowse one day we might even figure out how to stop changing and realize theory with or without evidence is till nothing more then empty matter. but whatever i dont even care so :chug it down like a clown:

Hi andyolinyk. This looks like your first post. Been lurking long? Avoiding the welcome wagon?

Want to brush up on your english grammatical skills and spelling?

You searched exsistence. Did you mean existence ?

Naah, ruining the universe is lots of work. It took us 5000 years trash one single planet and most of us are just staring at computer screens or TVs. I figure that at some point someone starts giving hand grenades to feuding tribes of apes, catches it all on video and puts it on internet. After that no one has the time to go ruining other planets. Just take a look at the thread about the entertainment apocalypse.
