WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIE?

WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIE?
Posted By: Maria Camacho on April 02, 2006


The concept of going somewhere else after death sounds silly to me.
Death is the end of everything, as far as I’m concerned. I go nowhere else.
Why does life have to finish for ever?
I want to do so many things. I’d need many years to fulfil all of my dreams. One day we’ll be able to go to sleep for a few centuries at a time. Then we come back to life and enjoy the universe again.
We should have periods of rest in a tank, where life itself stops as we hibernate. We sleep for a hundred years and then start all over again with a fresher body and mind.
This kind of thing can go on for ever. I want to die when I’m tired of life and not when nature says so.



WHY DO WE HAVE TO DIE?

Life eternal
With promises of heaven
Doesn't fulfil me

I’d like to climb Mount Everest
Visit the Chinese wall
And go to Peru

I dream of taking the space Shuttle
And seeing earth from space
As well as landing on the moon

So many things I want to do
But don’t have time
Why couldn’t we live longer?

Polar bears hibernate
And many other animals do
In this world

I wish we could stop time
Or lengthen life
Until we attain immortality

I have a Trans humanist wish
Of living for hundreds of years
To see humanity changing

Why do we have to die?
We must stop this abomination
Affecting all of our generations
