Would you rather live forever, or one day.

A bit cliched I guess, but it's something.

Why do you choose your side?

Well, it really depends on the conditions. Does this include ageing? What happens if you're mortally injured?

I mean seriously, if your body is cut up into little pieces, are you still alive? Do you have an Alucard-like way of healing yourself? Or do you just... remain like that?

I don't want to die and I want to know and do everything there is to do.

Idk. Would my brain overload and then explode if I learned too much?

Side: Forever

Only because there is no 80 year option. Life would become depressing for me after 70 years. So, I would freeze all my friends the die and wait for medical science to advance to the point we can bring them back. Also I'd be able to help the world by detonating IEDs with my body.

Life is already way too short and I'd love the idea of living forever. Sure, there will probably be times where you'll be bored out of your mind but there are also so many things you can do out there in the world. It would probably take 'forever' to do everything you could possibly want and will ever want to do.

I think if anyone were to live forever, life in and of itself would lose meaning. By that I mean, life would lose it's value to us, if we were to just keep on living forever. In my experience it seems as though, all experience perpetuated on a continuum with no breaks anywhere, would become boring. There is only so many days, or weeks in a row I can play one video game until I don't want to play that game anymore, as it would become more redundant over time. Let's say I had infinite video games to choose from, I might be able to play videogames significantly longer due to the significant variables thrown into the experience of playing videogames, but even with those infinite variables of infinite videogames, the experience of playing videogames would still eventually become so redundant, that the experience itself would lose value to me. Sooner or later, I would become bored, and then after boredom comes disgust (in psychology, disgust is actually just a more intense feeling of boredom: http://www.quora.com/Why-is-boredom-a-mild-form-of-loathing-and-disgust). .) How long until life itself, with it's seemingly endless list of variables, until it to became redundant? How long could I live till life became boring? a thousand years? a million years? a trillion years? a googleplex? I mean we have infinite years to look forward to... After boredom, how long till I start to loath life? After loathing, how long till I am disgusted by life itself? Life isn't meant to go on forever, consiousness isn't meant to go on forever. With reincarnation, it sortive deletes your entire experience once you reincarnate allowing you to enjoy life forever, but then I might have a question about whether or not, if you could reincarnate, and still be considered the same person, or an entirely different person altogether. With heaven, perhaps that could be an alternate dimension where the laws of physics keeps sentient life in perpetual bliss, but this question has nothing to do with that, it is living forever at face value of that concept.

As much as it would suck to only live a day, I'd much rather live a day with significant meaning and value due to it's temporary nature, than a dragging eternal existence that may drive me insane for eternity, perhaps that would be the worst hell...

You described what I was going to say very well.
