Journal Of An Immortal- Second Entry
Wednesday, July 2, 2008
Humans have wanted to live forever, in perfect beauty. Throughout history humans have searched for the fountain of life and the secret of youth. Elizabeth Bathory bathed in her victims' blood for hopes that it would make her stay young forever. Stories about endlessly beautiful vampires intrigue us all, drinking blood absorbing energy and living forever in a perfect body. Just to note, Humans are idiots. Imagine being you for eternity, each day blending into each other, your best friends, first loves, and family wasting away in front of your eyes. Watching Empires Rise and fall, seeing mistake after mistake, and hiding away from the world, shadows swallowing you. Would you really want this, choose this life. For some this sounds like Paradise, for others Hell, for me, my torment. A year for you is well spent, learning, doing, experiencing, and changing: In an immortals year, only one thing happens, jealousy. We see a family laughing, we feel jealous, we see a young couple smiling from the inside out, our eyes turn green, we see humans do the exact same thing their ancestors did, make mistakes, and we want to shout at them to do something right and envy them for they ignorance. So our solution, stop feeling. By the age of 200 or so the immortals tend to start to lose their humanity. Lost their souls have some. To me losing my humanity would be like losing myself. Another danger in immortality is that immortals tend to think rules and laws do not bind them, that they are above mortal decency. They will commit murder in a room of a thousand people, and let themselves get caught. What is a 100 years in jail compared to an immortals life span? So final question, would you want immortality?
