We are all Immortal Beings Living in Human bodies here on Earth

I was thinking today whether thinking like this is useful for most people and decided it would only be useful if one were practical and wise in their decisions and actions and compassionate to themselves and others.

Because though it might be true that we are all immortal this isn't necessarily true of your bodies unless of course you are Jesus or someone like that.

However, if we think about our bodies like cars. For example, if you get into an accident with your car you might get money from your insurance company to buy another car. But, with your own body if you break certain things like your head or your heart there might be no way to fix that. But, if it's another organ of the body possibly it could be replaced if you financially could afford it.

So, now as time goes on, for example, a person who lives to be 30 can reasonably expect to live to be 90. This is a given fact regarding the average person in the U.S. now. And what makes this even more interesting is that at least one year is added to this expected lifespan at present every year. So, does that mean people in their 20s are going to be 150 to 200 years old or more? The answer has to be: Maybe.

I went to see the movie "Jobs" with Ashton Kutcher yesterday with my wife. It sort of made me sad to think he died two years ago and was born the same year as my wife who just turned 58. The other thing that bothered me about the movie was that even though they got most of the dress down regarding that era, they didn't really get how people interacted which was much different than today. They got the older business men right because that was a standard thing for about 100 years. However, how younger people acted and reacted to things and how they felt about everything wasn't really clear. But, I suppose unless you were there it wouldn't have as much meaning in the end.

Also, Jobs could have been alive today if he had just used modern medicine instead of going alternative methods. My father also died doing something like this as well. He died at 69 by not having his prostate removed when he had a bad diagnoses in 1980. But, Jobs' life could have been saved if he wasn't so stubborn. But, the same determination and stubbornness that created and maintained Apple computer also killed Steve Jobs in the end like it killed my father too in 1985.

So, "We are all immortal and living in human bodies here on earth". Yes. This may be true but unless we are practical enough to make the right decisions at the right time there won't be a body here to live  in for us. So, that is something to think about too.
