- On the one hand, the selfish "I want to live forever" that you mentioned.
- On the other hand, there's the "I don't want my loved ones to stop existing". And this is the most difficult to cope with, when one of them does die. It certainly feels good to think that they go to a better place and that we'll join with them when our time comes.
I do not think it is selfish . I simply ask why would care to live forever ? As for the notion of rejoining people i loved . Why would said rejoining make it better? Never once have thought that reunion with people i have lost should be a thing i should particularly want . I loved them .I lost them . I have fond memories that will carry me through till death.
But can see your point
Really? That's strange. Can't say I've ever come across a person having the sentiment of not wanting to be reunited with the ones they love.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
