I see this argument more often but I don’t think it’s always fear of death that is the driving force of not wanting to live forever.
Can you tell me if there’s something wrong with the following metaphor:
I immensely enjoy a mountain hiking trip but after a few weeks it needs to end because my body is aching and even the beauty of the mountains becomes mundane.
Isn’t life somehow the same way?
Some burdens seem only carry-able because they’re temporary and some beauty is only (or more) beautiful because it’s fleeting.
(By the way I would jump on the opportunity of
an increased life span to say 200-300 years, 80 seems really short, but not indefinite extension)
