The doctrine of the immortality of the soul has more threat than comfort. -- Manson Cooley.
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
-- Franz Kafka

I think the answer to whether or not one wants to continue living depends on how happy you are.

That is probably the best way to sum it up :) . If your enjoying your life you normally dont want to loose it.

:yes:
My wife has passed, so I guess I wouldn't need a divorce.  I will say though that I can well imagine remaining married to her forever.

Immortality is the most precious gift mankind could ever attain, but only if it were to be as a pure energy being or spirit. Anything physical would ultimately become terrible.
