The classical error of The Cumaean Sibyl
“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi
in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σίβνλλα τί ϴέλεις; respondebat illa: άπο ϴανεΐν ϴέλω.” (the wasteland T.S. Elliot)
Be careful what you wish for.
That is funny, although I don't think that I would want to live forever. Cannot imagine myself being 150 and being able to do things for myself, having someone wiping my bottom every time I go to the toilet is a nightmare just thinking about it.
I have a butler to do that for me anyway
Yeah... There is that old Greek myth of a woman who was granted a wich form the gods and she wished to live forever.. it was granted and she continued to grow old, unable to ever die.
I think if I were to live forever, I include the clause "in perfect peak health" somewhere in that wish.
