I will like to live for ever to see what is in store in the future of 
humans. I will like to go to other planets. 
Those of us who do not wish immortality because they are scared of 
boredom are either using denial mechanism (because they know they cannot 
be immortal, so sweeten the situation by saying: Who wants it anyway), or 
are bored already. Life is too interesting to lose. 
There is a planet 35 light years away that has water, and its two moons 
have more water than it itself. Scietists have also seen the cosmic 
dance: Planets being born in galaxies ! Simply beautiful. If I am not I 
but That (pure consciousness, the basis of all, the Brahman of the 
Vedas), then I can never die because I was never born. Beautiful that 
life is elsewhere also. This gives me a feeling of immortality already 
and deep joy like I will survive by my progeny elsewhere ! From: Ratan
