I do not believe a viable immortality can exist. I think the question of immortality is ultimately and inevitably intertwined with the concepts and beliefs of any and all religion. To believe an immortality would be possible we must believe that something is responsible for providing us with this immortality beyond the livings control‚ or many people would have drank from the eternal fountain of youth by now. I believe that if the human race was‚ and had always been‚ unaware of the idea of a super

It’s way beyond that. This is what William Shakespeare is trying to clarify in his Sonnet 116. He wants to expound what love is‚ & what it isn’t. Using a couple of metaphors‚ Shakespeare’s main aim is to elucidate the theme that real love is immortal‚ consistent and certainly not under the mercy of time. Shakespeare starts off sonnet 116 by saying that true love overcomes impediments and doesn’t get affected by the changes in the surrounding. Following that‚ he compares true love to a Lighthouse

the desire to be immortal and the only way that we are able to obtain immortality is through reproduction‚ and since the act of reproduction is a form of sexual love‚ then sexual love is in fact a vital part of "True love".

She says that love was born by a mortal mother and immortal father. The mother
