Why did god made death?

[Ben Davis]

OK, the following may come across as more than a little pretentious but I swear it's sincere and for the sake of sharing viewpoints rather than judging yours.

And yet... already am I become weary of the boredom

That's a shame. I know I don't know you other than a little from your on-site persona but I had you down as a 'carpe diem' type.

Personal reinvention might be fun the first time you do it, but after a while you realize that you're playing the same character... only the faces change

It all boils down to how adaptable you are to change and I'm highly oriented; I seek out new ways to change, not for the sake of it but to make things better, refreshed, renewed. I thrive in environments that necessitate change. And the best thing is that these changes aren't replacements, they're additions, enhancements; every change I become a slightly greater me.

...the universe's bland ingredients will be served in ways that are bland...

I simply don't become jaded in that way. I often find joy in the simplest of things and I think that translates to potentially endless wonder. A few millenia may change that view but I'm acceptant of change so that would be no biggie for me either. Thinking about it certainly doesn't feel negative, just like a potential indicator of the need for further change.

...and as your friends died out one by one: it'd cease to matter. Your connections to this world will fade out, and you will be alone.

And what of new friends, new connections, new environments in which to seek out new relationships? For example, if we met in the real world & got on, there'd be a whole new set of dynamics for us both to explore. Even in those times when I'd want to be apart from people, other people's lives would go on giving me endless opportunities for curtain-twitching! I think I'd only feel truly alone if there were no other living things on the planet. If it came down to it, I'd probably even commune with plants.

Don't get me wrong... I'd like more time. I just don't want that time forced upon me well past any point I'd enjoy.

Indeed. For some that would be shorter (even one average human lifespan is too much for some people), for me it would probably be a loooong time, if I had my way. True immortality, real endlessness? I think you could probably keep that, though. Ultimately I don't think my brain could cope with trillions of years.
