In the course of each of the scenes we could see the suffering of the protagonists to see their relatives die generation after generation, having to live forever was for them a curse from which they wanted to escape, day after day they only dreamed of dying, for them to die meant to rest in peace, to get rid of the pain accumulated for so many years to see everyone die and their purpose of life then, was to seek their mortality and to take away the pain of being immortal because it was something they could not bear and therefore they wanted their longed-for death, however, in the course of the plot their desire to continue to exist became evident when they met true love.
In case you are curious, the three dramas that have this theme of immortality are: Alchemy of Souls 2, Fatality at your service and Goblin, they are South Korean Doramas that I was watching although I must say that this type of genre are not my favourite but they had good ratings and their high production cost which made me watch them.
Taking as a premise these dramas that I saw about these stories of immortality and based on the question of proposal of this weekend devised by galenkp, I think that being alone for an eternity, seeing the people you love the most die, must be an unbearable pain that has no end, it must be very sad to have to see your relatives for generations die and you always exist, despite this sad truth, personally I love life even if it is imperfect and yes, sometimes I think that someday I will die, and that sometimes makes me curious about how death will be, if death is the same as we see in the movies where we will be aware that we are dead and we will go to another place or naturally we will be like a computer when it does not turn on anymore and we will simply cease to exist, where consciousness ceases to be, we simply cease to feel and perceive.
When I think about it, I wish to exist, to be immortal, to live for a long time, it may sound a bit selfish of me but sometimes I think like that and other times I think that dying is the right thing to do, I think that in most human beings there is a longing in the depths of their being to live forever, however here other variables come into play such as: wear and tear, illness and ageing, I believe that when you combine ageing and illness in the body, living forever ceases to be a purpose of life and you change your mind, being immortal would no longer be a good idea.
Throughout my life I have witnessed how some older people look forward to their death, they say they are tired of living, that the most just thing is that death appears, I have heard that speech countless times, one of those people I heard ranting about life was my great grandmother who prayed to God every day to grant her death, however when she turned 100 years, They made her a cake where they put 100 candles and by surprise they took her away, there she was so scared because she thought she was at her wake, I think she felt death close by, we did not see at that moment that she was very happy about her death at that time, she opened her eyes so that they were going to pop out, she was very scared, I think that at that moment she wanted to live, I think that being faced with the unknown sometimes makes you change your mind.
In spite of all this, I consider that time is very unfair and getting old is the punishment of the gods for human beings, I think that living is a blessing, I like living, with its advantages and disadvantages, I love living, I would like to be selfish and live forever, maybe my sincerity will not be accepted but what does it matter, I cannot think otherwise, but evidently this is something that is not going to happen and waiting for death one day is the most normal thing to do, therefore, to really live and not let the good moments of life go by is the only way out we have because time is short and every day we are at a disadvantage, so my attitude from now on is to take advantage of life, love the ones I love and make them feel it because irremediably they will also leave, so the plan is to live with all my strength until destiny does its thing and that day arrives.
I hope your reading was enjoyable, see you God willing on another weekend, see you then.
