Throughout history, many great leaders and explorers have tried hard to find objects or other ways to live forever. While it might sound 41 to live forever, I believe that what makes life so 42 is that it doesn’t last forever. So, I don’t 43 that living forever is a good idea.
For one thing, I think living forever would be very 44 . We always have to find ways to 45 ourselves in a normal lifetime. 46 you lived forever, you would still need to eat and have a place to live. To pay for all these things, you would have to 47 working for as long as you lived. Many people work for 30-40 years, then 48 and begin to enjoy the rest of their lives. But you wouldn’t have that 49 if you lived forever. And, since forever is a long time, that means if you didn’t 50 your skill set every few decades(十年),you could be stuck doing the same thing for a very long time. That doesn’t sound like 51 at all!
Furthermore, it would be very 52 to live forever if the people around you didn’t also have that 53 . You’d be likely to 54 a lot of people in different periods of time, but you would also have to 55 them die. No doubt this could be very 56 for you. You would have the 57 to see your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren all 58 . But then, you’d also have to watch them get old and pass away. 59 , this could lead to a very lonely existence(存在).
60 , while living forever might be attractive to some people, I don’t think it would be right for me.
