Immortality

If one looks over to the people who are seemingly "imortal" because they outlive those around them, one will see that they are not entirely happy. They experience loss through violence, disease, starvation. Loss of loved ones who cant replace. It is extremely painful, in some cases.

Then one looks forward and sees all their goals marked with the ever-consuming deadline of when they won't be able to keep pushing. The deadline may be known or it may not be. Either way it tends to create a huge feeling of anxiety. The loss of one's self. . .

If it weren't for my fear of death, I'd prefer a natural life. Because I already know what it's like to outlive somebody, and it is very lonely. I couldn't imagine having to experience that forever.
