Question #485


From "The Book of Questions" by Gregory Stock, PH.D.

Q #17

Would you be willing to become extremely ugly physically if it meant you would live for 1,000 years at any physical age you chose?

NO! It is not a question of beauty, it is a question of living that many years. Just think how many times you would have to re-purchase your favorite music/movies etc :)

I'm glad to have the QoD back too!!!

I would only do that if my loved ones could be with me.

No - I don't think the human mind is equipped to endure a 1000 years of life. We're made the way we are made for a reason.

sure, why not. the more time to keep trying different things. more time to read the many books of the world. more time to see the impact of things on society.

Okay think about it folks. We all have our worts, blemishes, or physical attributes we like, don't like, struggle with etc. All of which I might add affects our self-esteem, confidence and the like. Why would we "borrow trouble" as my mother used to say and live 1,000 years as an extremely ugly person when we know our society, especially American society is obsessed with beauty. I'll take what I have for as long as I have it and be thankful that I am as good looking and charming as I am. Worked on my wife....

No, I have to agree with Hughy. I think we're made the way we are for a purpose. I think we need to see what's on the "other side" in order to reach fullness. When I ponder having a body that old, it give me the willies! I've grown older but not up! The prospect of growning that old is tres scary!
