Speak for yourself Paul.  There are a lot of us out here who don't long for
personal immortality, and understand our lives value in its finiteness:
growth, maturity, decay and dissolution as a normal process from which we are not exempt.

>>>True, it's impossible to generalize. People differ. And I do think the idea of existing on forever is quite appalling. On the other hand the reverse is equally disquieting. The fact that the dilemma is absurd doesn't help matters a bit. It's a dimension of the fix we are in. Some will feel it more than others and some not at all. But whoever is responsible (Them) ought to be shot. This is my personal bottom-line take on the paranoia question.
