Would you choose to live forever if you had the choice?
I don't have the choice. I'm an angel. A seraphim, for all those who know something other than those bloody Heston movies. When I was created, death didn't exist. God was first, then Lucifer, then all the seraphim after him and the lower choirs. I was one of the first and since I first opened my eyes I've seen... countless millions of lives of all kinds. And I do mean all kinds. Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean He and His angels can't bloody well see you. Nor does drawing your curtains help. Not that I watch, but you should hear the bleeding Gregories natter, natter, natter...
So I saw the first death - and first rebirth, of course. And then the next. And the next. Every single death I've seen, but I know that every single death could be followed by rebirth and eternal life in Him. So it isn't as hard for me as it might be for you.
And I always have my brothers and God, so I am never truly alone (even when I want to be for some bloody peace and quiet).
But if I had a choice to change this immortality for mortality? I would not take it.
