Why did god made death?

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.

It's because of my boredom that I make the best of things, and have a grand time of it ^_^ I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole 'I have a future' concept... my wants are small, and all of them can be achieved inside of 50 years. Specifically, they are interpersonal. Living long past when everyone I love dies would be fairly miserable, and I'd likely spend the time thereafter either zoning out into video games that will stand the test of time (in this scenario I am numb)... or I'd go utterly nuts with mania (my other 'coping' process).

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.

"JOIN THE GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!"

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.

The very crux of my point is that after <arbitrary time>, you'll become bored. So you find 'the simple things' enjoyable... eventually you'll tire of it.

And then you'll be like me

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.

Every new friend/connection/(especially) relationship you have will always be made more somber by the knowledge that they will die, and you will have to go on without them. Just one very close relationship ending with the abruptness of the other's death is traumatic and painful for many years... imagine achieving that closeness with several people, and having to carry that on for ages.

The usual response to such is to stay as shallow as possible in all things, and to not emotionally invest yourself in people. And then you've become an island.

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.

Mine could 'cope' with it... but I would be the most chaotic force of sheer randomness for good and ill and for the fucking hell of it. Nothing matters if you are an objective fact.
