Yes, immortality would be a blessing. I would be the smartest man in the world by far after time, I would make unbelievable discoveries. I could do whatever I wished for how ever long I wanted to, I could get whatever I wanted to with time. I could fall in love again and again. I could watch civilizations rise and fall and be there when its all gone. There is a certain numbness you gotta have. Great power that immortality comes with. I could fight wars by myself. Defend my homeland by myself. Shit, I'd be a superhero if I wanted to. If you are upset that you will outlive your loved ones, just imagine how much you will help the rest of civilization with your existence.
