You’ve imbibed a special potion that makes
you immortal. Now that you’ve got forever, what changes will you make in your
life? How will you live life differently, knowing you’ll always be around to be
accountable for your actions?
First off, I
am not sure I want to be immortal.
Although it might be neat to be around for more than a century to see
how the world changes, grows, etc…it would also be sad to watch everyone I love
die and know that I will never have that same closure to my life. If, however, I was immortal (by choice or
not), I wouldn’t do anything differently.
I’d just live life the best I could, same as I am currently doing.
What would
be different is that I wouldn’t worry about fitting everything in because I
know I’d have plenty of time for that. I
might not spend as much time at work and find a way to be home more knowing
that I’d have plenty of time for work and only limited time with my mortal
friends and relatives. I’d be even more
spontaneous and let the housecleaning go a bit more than I already do in order
to just enjoy life and not worry about those daily chores, how much I have in
retirement and savings, etc…because none of that would matter so much if I had
unlimited time to live this life. I do a
little of each of these things now, but not near enough since it should matter
even more knowing that I don’t actually have forever, right?
