If someone discovered a formula that would enable us to live forever? If someone discovered a formula that would enable us to live forever, would that be a blessing or a curse? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer." For a long time, humans have had the idea to live eternally, and people from different times and different places expressed this idea by different ways. In this context what would our reaction be like if we had discovered a formula that would enable us to live forever? In ancient china many emperors were trying to make "Elixirs of life", and they used different materials such as: precious stones (Jade) and metals (Gold as a drink),...but all tries didn't work, there is a list for all chinese emperors who died because of the Elixirs of life. the same tries were in ancient India, the ancient Arab world, Europe,... a lot of books presented different formulas which described how to extend the human lives. And there are many legends that ancient nations and communities created to express this idea. In this topic, we can have two kinds of explanation, in my opinion having this possibility has more disadvantages than advantages, because the important question is how we would live?! And not how many time (years) we would live?! In our days, it's not surprised to find the existence of the idea of living forever, in the international Cinema's industry, there are tens of movies that treat this subject. But what if we had the opportunity to take advantage of a formula of living forever, it's supernatural phenomena since we are ephemeral creatures. The problem that a lot of heroes in movies is struggling to live forever, they live alone, because all their lovers and families passe away, for example the hero in "the interview with the vampire", he started to feel lonely and he looked for the happiness or for the reason which push him to keep on living, another example is the movie of "The Green Mile", in this film Tom Hanks plays Paul's character who outlived and lost all his friends and relatives,... he considered this like a punishment from God, so in this case that was curse for him. The same example was in another movie "the strange case of Benjamin Button" which we can understand well how is difficult to live without the natural objective in our own lives. This idea seems against human nature, so in my opinion living forever is a curse of course, humans have the preference to live in happiness even with short own lives, finally I tried to find one advantage in this situation but I didn't!
