Immortality ! It is the inherent desire of all living organisms to live, and live forever.
Yet, all lives, except man are dependent on the environment. If conditions are conducive, the organism will survive. If environment is hostile, it will perish.
Man is the only living being which has a mind, he can think. He can devise means to overcome nature when it choses to be destructive. The organism has no alternative, but to survive. Yet, the conscious brain of man choses every activity to destroy himself.
If we have become conscious that life is beautiful and can be lived superlatively. Let us strive to identify means to make it vibrant. Lets not argue, whether we can live on forever or for how long.
Lets take it that the length of our life is determined by God, genes or whatever. What is in our volition is , how we live it.
Lets make it vibrant for as long as we live.
