If you could live forever (and be young), what would you do?

If you could live forever,
how would you spend your life?,
what would you want to do with your life?
what would you tell people?
how would you treat people?
would you want a set date for it all to end?

easy...id save up for a few centuries...buy a house in the country with some land and read until i read everything

i scope the earth and become a great photographer. afterwards i woud use all of that money to start charities for less fortunate people. somewhere along the way i may build a rubber ducky empire where drunken chipmunks who think they are llamas can roam free.*pats bob the llama*

I would do stuff that would only be possible to live through if I were immortal.

play video games.

I would always have cats.

I would never stop learning new things. I would try to learn one new thing a day and catch up on all the skills I never learned when I was younger.

Read "War and Peace." I probably wouldn't have much time left after that...

Since it takes me a great deal of time to do or learn anything, then it would take me a great deal of time to learn or do anything. I'd also stay away from the sun and garlic.

Other than that, after years of money saved up, I'd probably travel almost anywhere. Who knows what else that I would've acquired over the years...

I would take my sword and do battle with other immortals, and fight until there is two of us in the time of the gathering. And we would then fight to the finish, because in the end, there can be only one.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, I don't know what I'd do. I guess it would be a double edge sword for me, since yeah it can be cool to see society evolve, but at the same time, you'd live past your family and loved one, leaving you to be alone. Even if you did find new loved ones, the same thing would happen to you for eternity. I don't know if I would want to go through with that.

On the other hand, I'd love to be forever young. Its not gonna be a whole lot of fun when you reach old age and you won't be able to do much. I'd rather be in my physical prime than reach old age. But with the set back of living forever, I'm not sure if that would be better or worse.

Some days I would probably try to take over the world, some I'd try to gain ultimate knowledge, and others I may try to find some way to end my existence. Depends on my mood really.

Not that I'm feeling that way now, but if I had to live forever in my current mood, I'd try to end it somehow.

Wander.

I would start buying a bunch of random items, so, 100 or so years from now, I could become an eternal antique dealer.

obsessively record album after album after album...and produce lots of art and stuff...

No. I would be miserable. If you lived forever everyone you knew and met would die.

"Just the endless procession of days, months, years... My teacher left me to my darkest lesson, that in the end, we are alone, and there is nothing but the cold, dark wasteland of eternity."

That quote is from Queen of the Damned and it's true.
