When we're all gone .

Who can live forever ? The oldest was like some hundred over lady . But does a century count as forever ? I don't think so . Its a cold , hard fact about life . The moment you're born , is the moment you start to die . All the talk about the elixir of life . The fountain of youth . Immortality . Is it really possible ? Is it really even comprehendable the number of sufferings or deformations you have to go through if you were to live forever ? Would your bones grow weaker and weaker or your brain dumber and deafer . Would it matter if you were still alive a thousand years from now . But you can't think . And your body is just dust in the wind . In my life , I don't seek for eternity . But merely , seek out the realm of the possible . For the realm of the possible contain countless oppoturnities . Oppotunity as not merely a door , but a dare . It dares you to go and grab them . I saw a re-run of Troy recently . And I saw something that caught my eye . Wanting to live forever . Wanting and being able to is two different things . Most people want to live forever . But why ? Cause you don't want to die ? is dying that hard ? Being able to live forever is a whole new level and is not worth talking about because we never can . But why live forever ? Even if you could , why would you ? Its not as simple as it is . People don't live forever . And they never will . But people preserve themselves for them to live , well kinda . Achilles . How long ago did he live and how much he wanted to live forever . He was resourceful , ruthless , intelligent , yet a smart , melancholic and humble man . And did he live forever ? Yes he did . And why ? Because he lived . Makes sense ? You live your life the way you want it to , and to the people whom you know that will come to pass in time . You'll live forever . Not physically . But as a thought , a wisp of memory , a love that lingers in the heart , fear that lurks in the mind . Then you'll have lived forever . Me and V are goingto do a list of 101 things we want to do before we die on Friday . =D . But I know its impossible to finish them all . Cause half of what I want to do is impossible . But still . I'd like to try . Cause when you die . You would want the people you love to know how you feel about them . Which means you want them to know how much you love them now . Cause after another second has passed , you're a second more dead than you were alive .
