That is exactly the reason why I WOULDN'T want to live forever. Christ, I've lived through 50+ Christmases, 4th of July's, New years...
If I say I'm going to tell you a joke 50 times in a row you'd get very bored after only the third telling. Everything we humans do is merely a repeat from one generation to the next, though maybe with slightly uninteresting and predictable twists.
The news over the last 50 years has been exactly the same, only with different names attached to the events.
No, no, I don't want live forever.
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.
