What if you could live forever-

I dunno. The math doesn't work.

If I live forever, there will always remain the possibility of the perfect thing happening to me. Perfect sunrise, perfect snowflake, perfect kiss. Maybe I'll be the first person to explore some place or to understand something deep. Maybe, just once, I'll write something to rival shakespeare, or think something to rival leibniz, or I'll lead a movement that hinges history.

But also, if I live forever, the potency of those things is diluted by an infinite portion of imperfection. Any enlightenment would be impermanent. Any solace or resignation to the nature of things would be measured.

So what's infinity divided by infinity? If you take infinite waters and put them in infinite depth do I feel like I'm floating or drowning?

You didn't let me finish. I was gonna say, what if you could live forever but you had to go to the bathroom out of your nose.

See, now that tips the scales.
