Highlander II

The Prize. If you were an immortal, what would be the greatest reward you could get? You have had centuries to sample all of the pleasures, learn all of the knowledge and try all of the new and exciting things that have come about. You can’t be killed or even seriously disfigured. You can’t be involved with a non-mortal on a serious basis because in the end, you will just end up alone. So what do you prize?

After centuries of roaming through life looking for something to fill the void left by the absence of any real relationship, the real prize would be to be mortal. To be able to grow old and know that your time is limited allows you to love. It provides the one ingredient that opens up life to having someone to love.

Very sentimental. But what are we without the relationships we build? Empty shells, no better than a Terminator. If we do not care about the people around us and interact with them, we become mere empty forms. I guess there are hermits that prefer it that way. I can’t imagine that much pain.

Wouldn’t it be better that instead of a limited number of immortals, all vying for the prize, that everyone was immortal? The prize would be to spend eternity with the one’s you love. Gee, that sound like Heaven.
