What would you do if you were given 500 years to live?

After reading the other post regarding what you would do if you had 5 hours to live ,what would you think of being given 500 years to live?

after the first whoopie i personally would see it as a curse not a blessing ,what about you?

I would probably kill myself. One lifetime is enough here.

Let me think on this for 100 years, give or take a decade. Good question. The brevity of our lives gives it more meaning. But if the typical life span was 500 years that might seem brief too.

A curse, to watch everyone you ever cared about and loved die one by one, ok you have time to make new relationships just watch them die too, no thanks, a curse for sure.

It would be a big drag to keep up with all the technological changes. I find after age 200, you just want to keep with the old stuff.

Guess would not be many people here...??

Retirement Visa would what age ?

work for 400 + years

guess post 2 sounds best

Edit: scrap that getting old, maybe did not understand the question.

Don't follow that ?

All I get for the past few years is News of friends and relatives that just died, so if you lived for 400+ years longer you would be used to it

The longer you live the more years you have to work before you can retire! That idea sucks. Imagine you started to work at 20 and now you are ninety and still working because you need to save enough to have 50 years in retirement!!! Sounds really bad to me!

Some people...even with 500 years....will never think outside the box.

You just hit the nail on the head ,i cant even begin to imagine the pain .imagine watching your children die and then if you married again seeing it over and over.

You could go one step further and really suffer, although after a period it wouldnt hurt so much and that would be to be told you were immortal!

Never die, so suicide is out, and never age beyond 35
