We're all just posing questions to each other for fun, right?

Then, is immortality wrong for mortals to experience?

Not in the least! How else would we learn?

[This is a bad question for him to answer.]

Learn what, exactly?

[ghostlord]

Both sides of the coin.

[banworthy]

Well, one's heads and the other's tails.

[ghostlord]

You know what I mean. What's wrong with getting to know the opposing side? Sacrifices are usually warranted.

[banworthy]

Says who? And why?

[ghostlord]

That's just the way it is in my world. You can't achieve something that great without putting mortality fully behind you.

[banworthy]

Or you're just not talented and need multiple lifetimes to do it.

[ghostlord]

Don't be a stick in the mud.

[banworthy]

Hit too close to home?

[ghostlord]

I'm not immortal! But there are legends that have managed it. Most look up to them.

[banworthy]

I'm glad that you're not immortal. Honestly, it's not a good thing to be.

I get the fortune of explaining why to you, as well. Because really, wanting to experience everything, see everything, that's something you can do yourself.

[ghostlord]

Why are you so pessimistic about it?

Go ahead, I'm listening.

[He is assuming the pose of the perfect listener too!]

[banworthy]

It's as I said.

You can experience everything that you want if you have the talent to do so. I left my town, graduated top of my class, retired early, and experienced every joy there is to have in this world before returning home. As you can see, I'm still quite young.

[ Did he achieve happiness? No. But we're talking about experiences. ]

The idea that someone needs immortality to do that is silly. It shouldn't be something sought after since what good is it? Are you going to figure out how to give immortality to all your loved ones? All the things you love? Time will continue to move forward regardless of what you do. As you seek this out, what you wanted to do will eventually fade in time until you cannot experience it anymore.
