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?

I.. I don't think it's right for anyone to be here for more than they're destined to be here. It'd be nice to be able to stay a kid for all eternity, but eventually yo-yo tricks lose their coolness, and inevitably, all children become adults.

Death is the ultimate adventure. We're only here for a short time, and immortality just stands in the way of finding out the great mystery of our existence. I'd rather see what the next world has to offer, than live in a world where I know the ins and outs.

But knowing the ins and outs of the world is a big, big advantage.

And what if there isn't anything beyond this world?

We won't know if there is anything beyond here until "that" day.

If there isn't anything after this, then having lived a life filled with friends and family was worth every second. Not even one moment wasted or filled with regret. You can't have those feelings or know what it is like to cherish a moment if you're immortal.

If you're immortal, you wouldn't even have to worry about it. You'd live forever.
