Because our choices are largely based on survival. But if life is eternal, life is not a question.

All of us want to live, and that is absolutely natural. However, we should learn from childhood on to choose our best way to die. If we don't do that, we end up spending our days like a dog, only in search of harbour, food and expressing a blind loyalty to his owner in return. That isn't enough to make our lives have a meaning.

Do you remember when you found out you wouldn't live forever? People don't talk about this, but everybody had to go through it because you're not born with that knowledge.

When you think of it, really there are four fundamental questions of life. You've asked them, I've asked them, every thinking person asks them. They boil down to this; origin, meaning, morality and destiny. 'How did I come into being? What brings life meaning? How do I know right from wrong? Where am I headed after I die?'

Sure, we think it would be great to live forever, but it really wouldn't.

The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.

People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?

I believe if we could enable people to live forever, we should do that. I think this is absolute.
