There are times when I just want to say, okay, that's it, I can't take it anymore. I don't want to see anyone else. Period. I just want to live my life like I used to...not knowing who was going to die. Just wake up, go to work, and be quote "normal."
Thanks for letting whine.
If you mean stop thinking, stop looking at things rationally, stop using logic, stop seeing the world for what it is, stop seeing people for who they are, stop being “the smart one” in my circle and just exist in a world where delusion, ignorance, lies and belief allow me a false empty sense of peace and happiness then yes I have, at times, wished it. Mostly at down times in my life when even a false sense of happiness would have been better than what I was feeling. To live in a world full of warm and fuzzy feelings where I feel special and welcome. To live in a world where anything is possible through belief alone. To have gifts, abilities and super powers just sitting out there ripe for the picking. Yeah, Ive thought about it. A passing thought right before Im yanked back to my senses and have to deal with the problem presented to me.
Ive thought about it….

Sorry JJ your wrong because I plan to live forever. This is my single most important goal and if I have to spend my entire fortune or give up everything i own I will.
Oh and AtheistGod, you are going to die. Im not being morbid or anything but it’s the truth. You, me, everyone on this forum, we are all going to die. Accept it.
You can invest all the money you want. You can literally sell everything you own but this only means you will die in the street with only the clothes on your back. Many men have come before you claiming they would live forever. They have had more money and more power than you. They have all died.
I know the direction science is taking. I know we are making leaps and bounds in many fields. To think that adding in your small amount of money and vigor to the pot and stating that within your lifetime we will unlock the secrets of immortality, on some level, is ludicrous.
