Perfection doesn't bring happiness, i say this because...this is what i learn playing rpg games.
One night i enter in Diablo 2, always there are peoples online, but most of the time they do not play.
They just talk, is like a chat but your avatar is a small animated warrior who could have very powerful items.
And indeed most of them have chars at level 99 maxim with best armors and weapons, many have modded/cheat items, no chance to win against them.
And beside talking they do some duels from time to time, or they just attack you if you wander in their server and if you say something disturbing for them in chat window...
Ok so in connection with the world Skyrim where i live for few hours every week , i was thinking after building i relay forget the number, my next char.
Why i have so many characters? Well...around level 50-60 my chars become powerful and the universe lose the danger and the mister and i restart the cycle and build another one.
What if we could have in our reality perfection, been powerful mind and body and immortal, could be boring? Could we wish to die and been reborn and start the cycle of auto discover and grow like human being again? And again after few hundred years?

hope this time i post this in right space??!!! sorry i em new, the rules of posting are not very clear for me... where and what you can
It would be fantastic for a very long time. But if everyone could do what they want? I wouldn't want to live in that world.
For an individual being 'like as a god' would be bloody incredible but I think after a few centuries would start to get samey and - eventually - boring. It be bloody amazing getting there though!
Sorry to bang on but those books are a brilliant illustration
That first point is why I don't like multiplayer. It works great when you play with a bunch of friends but when you wander into a game on your own it can be an exercise in frustration.
As for real life immortality and perfection, I think I'd suffer that thing Armand does in Interview with a Vampire, feeling so out of touch with the modern age. After a few hundred years wasted and a few more soaking up as much as I could, I wonder if my will to live would dissolve?
Sometimes the temptation is more than I can bear
I hear you. Multiplayer in every game and facebook statuses is something I'll never understand. It's like a collective craving for validation and the need to inform everybody of everybody's current activity. It puzzles the crap out of me.
Ironically I thought I'd share that insight into my mind
You might enjoy this :)
