Ten Reasons why being Immortal is a Stupid Idea.

Most of us at some point in our lives consider wanting to live forever. We are all held hostage by the fact that we will one day die and often think it would be a good idea to break this cycle of life and death. We imagine having the ability to stay youthful unendingly and instantaneously regenerate damaged cells and organs, in other words, being immortal. But is immortality as we imagine it, actually a stupid idea? Let’s see.

10. Sad and Cold

You’ll grow cold and numb as you continue to lose the people you grow to love again and again until you detach yourself from mortals and their emotions.

9. Life Sucks

While there are bursts of happiness in life and moments of bliss, to be completely objective, life sucks! It really does. It’s brutal and even pointless. Being immortal you’ll eventually grow bored and depressed of life wanting to die but cannot.

8. Too Chill

You’d get fired from your jobs for slacking off and wasting time; but on the bright side you’ll have all the time in the world to find another one. And the cycle continues.

7. Busted!

Eventually you’ll be discovered and captured by mortals and put in a lab for research. They’ll infect you with diseases to study how your body cures it and cut your limbs and remove your organs to study how they regenerate. Then send you off to the church to be tortured for making a deal with the devil.

6. Rule the World.

After witnessing ages of humanity's stupidity, you'll definitely try to rule the world and put things in order. And while that is smart, the stupid idea is when you become a Fascist Communist dictator to do it.

5. Lonely Boner.

If an asteroid or solar flare wipes out all life on earth, you’d be alone to wonder the planet with nothing but your own thoughts to jerk off to.

4. Aliens

You’ll perhaps live long enough for an alien civilization to visit and colonize a barren earth. Hopefully your as big a fan of aliens as that guy.

3. Hell

Scientists say the sun is now in the middle of its life cycle, and will explode in about 4-5 billion years. In the few hundred million years before the explosion, it will swell up and become a red giant as big as the Earth's orbit. It will therefore swallow the Earth. In other words you’ll be burning in a fiery ball of gas for like forever unable to die.

2. Living for Nothing

According to the Big Crunch theory eventually the universe will implode and return to an infinitely small singularity, being immortal you’ll consciously exist in nothingness forever. Deep.

1. The Irony

You’ll eventually live long enough to figure out a way how to die and then kill yourself.
