What Is It?
Today, I noticed something on my WordPress.com My Home page which I had not seen before, which was a Daily Prompt that you could click on; and it starts a post for you with the tag, dailyprompt, and here is that Daily Prompt:
Do you want to live forever?
My Thoughts
I would first like to start my response to this Daily Prompt with a scene from the 2004 movie Alexander, which has this prompt in a line of dialogue:
Anyway, my answer is, sometimes I wonder if I could have one superpower, would I go for: immortality / semi-immortality, or something like the ability to heal others & myself, or telekinesis, or the ability to form my own dimension, or the ability to conjure / summon, or the ability to fly, et cetera.
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I do not want to live forever.
When I was a kid, one or more times I tried to imagine what it would be like to live forever, actually I was trying to imagine what it would be like to live in heaven forever.
I remember a feeling that I can not describe, that I have not experienced since then, when I tried to imagine day after day in heaven, lasting forever.
My mind could not handle the thought of infinity / eternity / infinite / eternal / immortality / et cetera in heaven, and my mind became overwhelmed by that feeling / thought.
I wish that I could feel that feeling again, it was very unique, and overwhelming.
Immortality would / could be a blessing and a curse.
At this time, I would say yes, I do want to live forever, ask me again another time, and my answer may / might change.
I would want to use some of that time to build enough wealth to be able to live off the interest, not a crazy amount of money; just enough to be able to do what I need / want to do to help myself & others.
Then I would go out to get help, training, education, et cetera to improve myself, pursue some of my life goals & interests, explore, help people / the world, et cetera.
Anyway, I think that it is cool that WordPress.com has Daily Prompts built into WordPress.com now, I assume.
That should help myself and others come up with posts on the days that we can not think of anything.
The end,
