Every living things is struggling to die, what stops death is awareness.

Immortality is a kind of indulgence, something that people at the top of the social pyramid usually crave , so do the average men.

If immortality exists, I would say that everything will become ordinary and trivial because without the awareness of death, everything is ordinary.

Also, if immortality of our physical body does exist, men will never learn to appreciate what is around him. Imagine if you are playing a mario game, what will you do when you have 99 life and what when you have only 1? No matter who we are, all of us have only 1 life and when we die, it is game over. But most people live as though as they have 99 life

Immortality of the physical body does exist but only to people who are able to manipulate the position of their assemblage point.

Everyone of us, however, can maintain our awareness which normally cease upon death if we so desire, but only through a rigid and disciplined practice and with sheer determination. Noted that this does not mean immortality.

So, one should be aware that every moment could be his last moment on earth. Just like a warrior, he treats every battle as his last battle on earth.
Hence, one has to really reduce what is superfluous in his life.

All professionals are conspiracies against the laity - Shaw, George Bernard

If they were immortal, I can't imagine the consequences that the average men will bear as it has already been unbearable to most people today.
