I think this is one of the easiest questions to say no to — and actually, it’s kind of a no-brainer FUCK NO if you ask me (or if *I* ask me, which is kind of what I do on this blog) — but I seem to be the only one. Yeah, sure, I like living and all, but do we really need to belabor the point…forever? I mean, jeez. I think I get it already. I’m pretty sure that life matters so much mostly because (and this is key) shit’s finite; it’s the Time’s Up Factor that really counts for something here. So, yeah, dying is scary. But death gives life gravitas (or something like that. I dunno. What am I — a fucking philosopher?) Ahasver, so the story goes, is out walking the Earth till the end of time because walking the Earth till the end of time fucking SUCKS. It is not a reward! (Unlike being told you are immortal for the day, in which case you can jump off bridges and fall asleep in fire pits and commit suicide while listening to old Judas Priest with no ill effects and cool shit like that.) So absolutely not. Forever is too long.
