770 Words4 Pages

ARE WE IMMORTAL?

Abstract - This short paper presents an abstract overview about the study of immortality of all living beings. It is a fact that all living things are mortal because they have a limited life span and are subjected to death. This paper contradicts this particular view, questioning the interrelation between immortality and death in a new perspective. This paper considers a person’s fame and popularity as a viable qualification for the declaration of a person to be immortal.
Keywords - Undying, Immortal, Fame, Popularity, Deathless, Eternal, God, Enduring, Death, Long Life
I. INTRODUCTION
Since the earliest civilization humans have pondered, experimented, explored that something returns them their life. The idea of living forever is fascinated from frictional stories as well. As much as it is true that we are human beings, it is also quite evident that we always mortal and we can never be immortal in future as well. We have a specific life span after which we end our life naturally, without due consideration of the unnatural deaths due to factors like accidents, suicides, etc. Researchers are still finding a way for prolonging human life, before it ultimately develops into immortality, even though it can enforce a major loss for the human lifestyle. Humans or living beings cannot be immortal but their fame will be immortal always. Some examples have been explained in this paper pertaining to immortality among living beings.

    Plato claims that the soul is immortal because of his argument of Opposites, to which I agree. Socrates says, “For all things that come to be… [come] from their opposites if they have such...” and “…those that have an opposite must…come to be from their opposite and from nowhere else.” (70e) Socrates argues the opposites of Bigness and Smallness. For something to be considered big, it must have first been smaller, and for something to be considered small, it must have come from being big.

    Francis Nosike 09/24/16 AP Literature Mr. Amoroso Death cannot be explained because it’s not a living entity; it’s the transformation from a physical state to dust. In the novel Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya; Antonio, the protagonist, witnessed three deaths that fostered his religious ambivalence. Therefore, the three deaths formulated a cycle of inquiries that lead to the constant statement, ‘anyone could die.’ No living soul on this plain could ever explain how death operates. The abstract conception of death itself is challenging, but with time, we slowly begin to comprehend the ‘true’ nature of death and what it brings to us.

    In Plato’s dialogue Phaedo, he explains the soul and comes to the conclusion that the soul is immortal. Through describing the last hours of Socrates life before his execution, he lays out three arguments in support of the idea that while the body may cease to exist the soul cannot perish.
