Immortality Wouldn't Make Life Meaningless
Immortality making life meaningless is one of the stupid things "wise" guys say because it looks good on paper.
To me, it's the exact opposite. Being mortal is what makes my life meaningless. Humans don't live long, double digits usually in years which is nothing. Saying being immortal makes life meaningless is due to not having something you would enjoy doing indefinitely. If I was immortal, I'd know that I have all the time in the world to master the crafts I enjoy and indulge not just in them, but all my other enjoyments as well. I wouldn't be worried about not having enough time, because I'd have all the time in the world.

I mean, yeah, because life already is.

Immortality makes your short time on earth all the more precious. It puts more importance on what is eternal rather than material and you cannot take with you.

You only know immortality, because when your dead, you have no more awareness,

Ok, you can be immortal but you spend it like Stephen Hawking, in a chair with almost no motor function.

It's like the vampire problem. You have to get turned when you still look good or you're just an immortal sack of potatoes.

Maybe the meaning of life is to find out it's meaningless. Stuff is crazy like that

I'd do anything to live forever.

Imagine the effects of plastic surgery multiplied by infinity. heh.

Before one should want to live forever, one should learn to enjoy one's own company. And learn to enjoy living in the moment.

Because that moment of timelessness, is something you will probably use many times.

One can create a world within themselves, planets, npcs, houses, lakes, forests, whatever. Where the only thing that can interrupt it, is death or need to eat or sleep.

With immortality, one could get lost in this world and remain forever. Forgetting the world outside the body. Mayhaps you've already done this, gone into your imagination, forgotten who you are and how to feel anything outside this place. Living under the rules you originally created for this place. All of this could be one big imagination.

And if thats the case, immortality is not living forever, but rather sleeping forever, in this place that may not be real. A place where one day everything sprang from nothing, like when a person closes their eyes and everything can burst forth from the imagination.

Perhaps you are Alice, and me the Cheshire cat. That knows the truth of everything, but puts it as riddles when I see fit. Of course not, for you only see me here, not every where. If I was so important as the Cheshire cat, I could show up every where.

But immortality you want? How can you be so sure that its not eternal slumber that you are asking for?

I'd only want to live forever under certain circumstances

Have you ever seen the movie "In Time"...
(possibly at one point you'll eventually become so bored or tired of dealing with the crap in life or life itself and would just want to end the struggle). Your mind will only be able to tolerate so much for so long.

Yea, living only double digits sucks!

But there are also good moral reasons why we're all born to age and die...
Earth would eventually become so overrun/crowded and polluted it would be unbearable to live in. Even if we could inhabit other hospitable planets, but it's extremely unlikely we'll find any compatible one soon, and reaching such a planet is many light years away, the odds are greatly against us (your odds are better in winning the Billion Jackpot Lottery!)

It would require finding several other worlds. Still, NOT gonna happen.

Plot Twist, OP:
You're immortal, but your body will continue to age and decay as normal.
You just won't die from it, is all. Your vital organs won't fail, but the rest of your body will continue to break down by age accordingly.

unless if everyone is immortal, it would turn into the travis scott incident, just without the dying part.

In my opinion, immortality would be the greatest curse ever placed on someone. Just think about it, after a billion billion billion years you still have eternity left. After being crushed by the sun for millions of years, burning in agony each second, you still have eternity left to live. When all the life in the universe is gone, you still have eternity left to live.

What are the best memories you have? The memories you experience every day or the memories that only happened once?

You can create any memory you want inside the imagination of your own head. And a world inside there where you can live in forever. Limited only by your brains ability.
