Questions (Phone)

[ceasetoexist]

[At first, there's just silence over the phone, like someone knocked it over and forgot to put the receiver back up. Finally, after a few moments of this and of fake starts, Pokey finally speaks.]

So, with all the stupid age crap going on, I got a question for you people.

If you could stay one age, forever, would you? Or would you choose to keep aging?

Because, I mean, why wouldn't you want to stay the same age, right? I mean, it's pretty much immortality, and you wouldn't really miss out on anything by not getting older or anything. Really, you'd be doing better then them, right? So yeah.

Sorry, stupid question. Because it's not like anyone WOULDN'T take immortality when given the option. Because everyone would choose immortality.

Right?

Considering the body never dies and will apparently still preserve for at least another few thousand years?

It's pretty close.

Considering? Hm, sounds like you may already know what it's like, but I digress.

It's not an absolute immortality, so that may suit some people. It generally still can only end badly given to a normal person, which is why most of the time, people who wish for immortality have no idea what they're really asking for.

I guess.

That would make your initial statement incorrect, wouldn't it? You just admitted it yourself, too. It may be a stupid question, but only because you haven't thought it out properly. Immortality shouldn't be taken lightly, and depending on how you would define it, it could definitely be more of a curse than any blessing.

Yes. I get it. I was wrong.

You don't have to lay it on so thick.....

Haha, am I? I apologize if I sounded forceful, but that wasn't my intent. I am glad that you understand now, though.

Yeah....

It's great....

There's no need to sound so cross. If you've learned something new, then wouldn't you have gained more knowledge, and matured a little as a result?

....Again, I guess so. There's such a thing as learning something too late.

Of course, then you can only make the best out of what you have. That's what living is, isn't it? It's not always easy, which just goes to prove further that living forever may be quite hard, too.
