The Queen song comes to mind. “Who wants to live forever?”
But no one does. Live forever that is. In another century pretty much everyone alive today will be gone, replaced by new people. A refresh of sorts. Knowledge will be passed down, by word or pen. But the minds that thought them will be gone.
We are not permanent. We are merely transitional. We are here for a brief moment in the grand scheme of things. So enjoy it while it lasts. Make the most of it. Leave no regrets. No one lives forever.
