Should we live longer?

[acapnotic]

People often only vaguely remember what happened to them several years ago. So the previous centuries will be simply forgotten. After all, our brains have a limited number of cells. Even if your life is infinite, your memory isn't.

I wonder if that isn't also true for angels. Maybe that is why some of them don't remember coming to earth and making love with our women. They simply have forgotten. And apparently they don't have books like the Bible or don't care to read them. Which is only logical if you live forever. Anything that can happen has already happened and will happen again, so why bother?

[Irregardless]

I always wanted to have the mind of an oldie, but the body of an adolescent in the past. But now I am pretty comfortable with the state of my mind and the state of my body. I don't want to be younger, and I don't want to be older. 29 years old is what I really need and what I have now.
I want to live forever and help people and animals, to do lots of good, useful and helpful things.

If I could have changed my life, I would have become a programmer and a psychiatrist because these two professions are the most necessary for people nowadays. But if I have no choice and have to be a linguist, that's ok, maybe I will be able to become a really prominent psycholinguist and that's what I would like to do endlessly.

Why are you talking about death, guys? Is not it better to live and enjoy life, to live and do something beneficial for this world, to live like death doesn't really exist? It looks like you are either too depressed or too pragmatic. Both things are not good.

[Olya]

It looks like you are either too depressed or too pragmatic.

You are wrong, I am afraid. It looks like you prefer quick conclusions.) We are practicing our English!

[acapnotic]

We are talking about death because it's a part of life. People die, and we will die too. To live like death doesn't exist is to live in delusion. It's somewhat strange advice from a wannabe psychiatrist. The difference between mentally healthy and mentally ill people consists exactly in their (in)ability to live in reality as it is.

[Irregardless]

acapnotic, Actually, talking about death is the first sign of depression. Any psychiatrist will tell you that.

[the Tempter]

acapnotic,
do you really think that dirty, smelly, unpleasantly looking women could attract pristine angels?

[Yety]

Ohh no, misogyny as a manifestation of misanthropy...

BTW, I say DOORKNOB! - since you didn't say "safety"...

[the Tempter]

That's their business to fleece helpless, gullible patients.

[Yety]

Нет, глупец здесь вы, если думаете, что кто-то согласится терпеть это игривое хамство of yours.

[Irregardless]

the Tempter, huh, maybe you are right :D

[Mary May]

the Tempter, you may end up talking to yourself here...

Or to a select few like [mention]Irregardless[/mention] , maybe (?)

[Irregardless]

Yety, Mary May,
Guys, she was talking about our condition after death... About what happens to our bodies... What's wrong with that??!

[Yety]

she

They preferred to be addressed as 'it' or 'he' - for simplicity.

[the Tempter]

Wow, Yety! What's got you?
:)

[Yety]

That.

[the Tempter]

By the way.
Those people lived in a semi-desert without air conditioning, showers, bathrooms, hairstylists, haute couture clothes and such. They really were dirty, smelly and unpleasantly looking, men and women alike.

[acapnotic]

do you really think that dirty, smelly, unpleasantly looking women could attract pristine angels? You are silly.

No, I'd think they preferred the cleaner and prettier ones. But on the other hand, who knows? I've never smelled an angel. Maybe they just don't care, and compared with them the stinkiest human smells like a rose. Didn't you write somewhere that paradise and hell are the same place? If so, then angels likely smell of sulfur.

[acapnotic]

Actually, talking about death is the first sign of depression. Any psychiatrist will tell you that.

And pretending that it doesn't exist is a sign of what? :)

[Irregardless]

acapnotic, is not it better to treat life with humor?

[the Tempter]

acapnotic, Angels are incorporeal. They don't perspire, don't eat, don't shit and of course don't fuck. It's only human sick imagination that Angels had sexual relationship with people.

[acapnotic]

Angels are incorporeal. They don't perspire, don't eat, don't shit and of course don't fuck.

And don't exist, you forgot to add, except in people's imagination. Sorry, but I have no use for such nonsense. Even a dirty, smelly and unpleasantly looking woman is worth a lot more. She at least can carry you home if you are so drunk that you can't walk. Will an angel do it? No. So, what good is there in all of them? If you fall into a pit and break your legs, no angels will come to your rescue. But a dirty, smelly and ugly woman can save your life. See? That's why men live with women and not with angels.

[acapnotic]

is not it better to treat life with humor?

Yes, but I see no humor in pretending that a real thing doesn't exist.

[the Tempter]

Angels are of subtle energy. They can't carry your drunken body, you are right. But why should you drink that much? And angels can help if you fall into a pit, they can tell somebody that you are in danger and need help, that's something.

[Easy-Breezy English]

Is this all we, poor females, are good for? :)

Tell this to Tolstoy, that deranged old psycho. :)
