∞

Infinity. Many times people are asked, "If you had the chance to live forever, would you do it?" For me, especially after today rhat answer is NO. I guess it is different, because on Earth there is actually activity going on... But I would hate to see my loved ones and endure just staying there alone. Eventually, everybody around me is going to pass away. For that reason, the answer is no on earth. As for space... an even bigger no. The reason why is because I would get SO BORED, if all I see is what is inside my rocket -- unchanging -- and pitch black surrounding me. As many said today, specifically Megan, that is so scary. I cannot even conceive it. Going in a straight line without knowing where you are going to end up, not even having faith behind it that you will reach somewhere is terrifying to me. I need to know where I am going, I need to have a goal, I need to know where the end is -- or I will got lost in space, no pun intended. Today's lecture was very appealing to me because I love discussing these abstract topics and I really enjoyed how they spring from ideas in the book, become huge discussion topics in class, and then get immediately related back to the novel and in our everyday lives.
