I like your comments.. most of them!

Haha, that sounds like there are some that you don't like at all, but thanks! xD

Well, there are some that are too difficult for me to understand and digest, it's not your fault, but mine:)

Like those on this topic: http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/would-you-want-to-become-an-immortal.22902/page-6

Oh that. I studied math. Infinity is no joke. Here, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj3_KqkI9Zo

You've killed me. I was and I am too stupid for math:|.

Where did you study it?

I used to think that for us to be like gods we lack some things: time, capacity/memory and something else that I can't remember.

Why would you want to be a god anyway? We are living amazing lives. Right now, we probably have access to more dishes than the emperors of ancient China, and through games, we get all the fun of being a god, minus all the responsibilities (can you imagine the headaches you'd have right now if you were in charge of Earth right now?)

Besides, in this webtoon called Kubera, there's this god who is one of those who created the Universe. That god remembers not only the current universe, but everything that happened in the previous universes, and he can see the consequences of all choices (a beefed up version of just seeing the future). I dunno, I don't want to be him, I'd go totally insane, and said god seemed to have gone senile too. D:

...well, we don't really want to be a God, but more like to have more liberty:) and more choices to 'taste'.

Can you imagine how it'll be to love someone and lose that someone? What would happen if you'll find out that a certain someone or something could help that one? But, that also happens in rl - if you have money, then, you can affort a surgery and so on.

You're talking about a god that's like us, something similar to those gods that the greek mythology shows us - where those gods are... like humans on drugs - they have superpowers, but, they die like us, they have feelings and so on. But, there is also the type of god who exists more like a concept.

Once, I've skimmed this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectures_on_the_Philosophy_of_Religion

There are more likethat, there are even writers who wrote about religion/s... i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mircea_Eliade

Haha, I didn't talk about conceptual gods because there's no way we can be one anyway. xD I'm floored by the depth of mathematics for example and find that godly, but no matter how 'powerful' it is, I don't think anybody would want to 'be' maths. xD

...maths too hard for me. I remember how I've lost the fight with mathematics when I didn't learn constantly and.. I've dislike math as no one bothered to explain to me why I shoud've learn this or that. Well, I was more stupid than I am at this moment!

As for liberty, limitations are actually a form of freedom. If you just give a boy a ball, then he'd just be bouncing it around. However, add a few rules, and it becomes football, basketball, you name it, and from there a whole world of possibilities (strategies etc.) arise. It is true that there are many things we can't do, but working with these limitations give rise to so many things.

Oh, you're talking about acknowledged liberties. Yes, that's true. We build up our own prisons - the prisons of mind and ration.

It helps to look at things from other perspectives too. It is certainly sad when a loved one dies, but the fact that we -die- is one of the greatest movers of civilization. Could you imagine what state we'd be in if stuffy kings and stuck-up dictators never die off? Because we die, the next generation can pick up and challenge and change what we've left behind. Isn't that a form of freedom?

Imposed freedom is never freedom. Beside that, the lack of resources is what, in some cases, make us choose according to material interests.

Haha, but we get choices then, right? Imagine if we didn't need to eat, and/or never get overstuffed. Then we can choose to eat nothing at all, or just eat everything, but where's the fun in that? And in fact, if we didn't need to eat, we wouldn't have most of the dishes we'd have today, because humans went to great lengths to deal with their need to eat whatever is lying around.

Well, in a way, you're right. We'll be like inanimate things, we won't think, nor could think of something else.
