REFELCTION ON LIVING FOREVER IN A YOUNG BODY
In my class of philosophy, we had very interesting topics dealing with life and how
human beings argue on the basis of their living. So along as several people still ask questions on
the standards of living, some will oppose and others propose depending on how they view their
quality life. Our social-wellbeing is as important as our healthy living but we cannot forever live
in this world. In as much as we have that comfort, it can be a challenge staying forever and
maintaining a younger body. The thoughts on this topic are very interesting and I thought it was
relevant I share with my colleagues.
Every individual when they grow up would like to explore the world not only for fun but
also learn new things such as culture, economic and social activities. It is due to these good
things that make people at their adult life wish to live forever. It is fun having different
interactions but it also difficult to retain your age yearly. Religion leaders say the earth we live
in is there to stay but for us, there is a judgment that each one will have to pass through only that
we do not know the time, and that is returning back to ashes. The leaders further argued that if a
true follower of the church strictly adheres to the teachings their years of living shall be
increased by the Almighty. I agree that we need to recognize some religious practices but at
some point, an individual will have to die to know the eternal life preached to them in churches
or crusades (Turner, 2012).
So many people even the believers do really want to associate with an individual teaching
on immortality for they feel they have not really fulfilled their desires in life and would like to
know more, so such teaching really demoralizes their emotions. They would like to have an
experience of living forever with their families though they are not sure of their full lifetime

existence. Death is something inevitable and it can occur at any point and the scientists also
argue that the world is an orbit that keeps on revolving each day has a different activity and
weather. Another question we need to ask ourselves is now that we have modern technology,
how about if science could make our bodies have eternally lifetime body, could we have
embraced it? To me, the answer is yes even though people will have different opinions about the
issue.
Moreover, what we need to understand is that we should familiarize ourselves with the
number of individuals that will embrace this kind of change to their body. If being the only one
to have this change then I will divert my thoughts because the society can have a very negative
perception based on my age and entire body being that it is not proportional yet my age mates are
slowly approaching their old age. Remaining pretty for a long time is a joyful experience, but
one we need to remember is that it is stated in the bible book of Genesis that we should multiply
and fill the earth; we should be hardworking and eat the fruits of our labor (Goenka, 2017).
Good resources to a young living only come through a struggle and its always better that we take
advantage of every life opportunity that comes our way, for better opportunities are only
received ones in a person’s life.
If a procedure has to be conducted for an individual to remain young then, in my opinion,
the person should also remember that there are pitfalls associated with the surgery. They can be
universal of high magnitude though some cannot be corrected even by a medical person. It is not
really logical putting effort to offer shelter, food, water to ageless individuals a great society is
one with a mixture of population, for example, young children, the youth, parents, and
grandparents. This kind of mixture makes interaction very interesting as we learn from our
elders. Do not get me wrong I am only trying to be optimistic in my point of view following the

science development and human creativity to utilize the items in the market that makes them
have the look they want.
Furthermore, as a person, I would really wish to live forever and see the world ending at
an older age but based on nature it’s close to an impossible action. It is a debatable topic to really
know the much life is worth living but if a person has reached self-actualization point then I
consider this a having fulfilled life. Finally based on the answers I have given my view on the
nature and real meaning of life is that the experiences and new discoveries in life are irreversible
and cannot come new as they were. The point is, living is a circle and we should utilize our
energy in doing positive memorable activities.
