[@CandleWisp]

Eh, it's overdone. You enjoy the company while you can. Appreciate the memories when they're gone. If you can accept death once. You can accept death a thousand times over.

[@PxlDev]

Not everyone practises stoicism. No matter who you are and what philosophy you practise, if someone close to you dies it will weight you down. As you said, "Enjoy the company while you can. Appreciate the memories when they're gone." but you can't prepare for someone dying. Especially if your own world perspective doesnt include death, since you are immortal. Its really hard to move on from people who are dead even if you do follow the teachings of stoicism. Take it from a person who has experienced this first hand. "If you can accept death once. You can accept death a thousand times over." This is not true, it's hard to "accept" someone's death, especially if that person was close to you. This specific manga really does show what an immortal being would feel like after losing someone for the first time.

[@CandleWisp]

@@PxlDev Yes, this comic addresses an immortal's first brush with loss. But I'm talking in the general trope, as OP has referenced. I'm not saying death is easy. I'm saying it is no more challenging as an immortal. Proportionally, an immortal doesn't experience more death than a mortal. They experience the same amount of happiness and sadness as a mortal. It's not just people dying back to back every day. Plus, they have every opportunity to develop the coping skills to deal with it. So with that in mind, "being immortal sucks because you watch your loved ones die" strikes me as mortal-centrism. We're just rationalising our weaknesses. Plus, everyone is already likely to outlive their parents. Mortals already outlive some of their loved ones. There's no reason the challenge can't be overcome. There's no reason it's any harder than what a mortal faces. Thus the phrase, if you can accept it once, you can accept it a thousand times over.

[@PxlDev]

​@@CandleWisp You do have a point on the proportions of suffering and sadness. We are still talking about *if* someone is able to accept the death of someone. Not all are able to do that. Mortal-Centrism is a new word for me :O When it comes to immortality it's probably hard to form lasting connections, since they fade away quickly. Talking about the philosophy of immortality is interesting :)

Here’s how to scare a child with immortality: “You’ll live forever, but you’ll see the sun explode millions of years later”

[@Kazu-ls4kf]

I can see a few outcome for that immortal after their partner died: - couldn't accept it and activate the coping mechanism (example: searching resurrection magic). Might take any chances given no matter how big the price to pay - Couldn't accept and might attempt suicide - took time to accept it and start to distance themselves from mortals. Afraid to build another relationship due to facing the same situation again. - Accepting their lost and tried to blend in mortal society to learn appreciate more about life - Accepting it too quickly and build another relationship. Repeating the cycle until they lose their emotion over "losing the loved one". Could take worse turn and start toying with life just like their friends This is just my opinion trying look from their perspective. You might add your opinion too on reply. Sorry for bad grammar since English is not my first language

This is why most shows show immortality as a curse rather than a blessing. It's not a big deal if you're alone but if you have loved ones who are not immortal, you will suffer an eternity of pain by not being able to die and follow said loved ones into the afterlife.

[@davidthorp01]

This is why gamers horde like we’re destined to fuck up somewhere. This is the feeling of regret when the play-through goes sour because we left something behind that we really shouldn’t. Don’t get me wrong, it can make for some amazing stories…but that perfectionistic urge to keep everything basically is the human spirit. She has learned a valuable lesson.

[@Pudding404]

Imagine being immortal and getting to a point where you never get close to another living soul again from fear of loss. You appriciate life alot more with this in mind.
