"I want to live forever"

Genes live for ever, why shouldn't I

That's a questions I have been thinking on. All the living thing in existence have genes that are as old as when life came to being on earth. Yea, i may look like a 20 year young adult but man, my genes are really old, really old. How is that possible....
The X and Y chromosomes in our bodies are from our parents, the X and Y in them were from their parents and so on and so on. The genes may be mutating year after year, offspring after offspring but they are still the initial X and Y from our ancestors who lived thousand of years ago...the point is the genes never die till the species is extinct.
Richard Dawkins describes the carriers of the genes, all living things 'vehicles'. We have channeled the genes over thousands of years carrying them and passing them of to our offspring.
Partly i think i have to come to an understanding of why some men want to live forever. My genes want to live for ever why should i? This might be why some men are trying all possible ways to extent their lives. Some are even getting preserved in liquid nitrogen tanks under nuclear bunks so that should mam ever find a way to live forever they will be revived and get the chance.
Personally i believe the day we learn how to live forever that is the day we shall have no need to reproduces as the core purpose of life that nature gave us ; let the genes live forever will be achieved. There will be no need for sexual organs, there will be no need for different genders there will be only being in the highest form of evolution..

Who's using who?

We are all used by someone and we are using someone. It’s in our genes literary. Why do you live? Why does man struggle to live? 
To reach the right age and get offspring; to pass on our genes. The purpose of struggling to read, to outsmart other species, to survive the harshest of conditions is all to pass on your genes. Did I mention that you are being used...yes by your own genes. According to the book 'The Selfish gene' by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, the ultimate purpose for survival is to survive and pass on our genes. The gene aims to live forever by passing from one individual I.e. you and me and to its offspring I.e. your children so that they will not die off. The gene gives the individual the necessary tools to survive as the years pass (evolution) to make more refined and capable individuals.
The reason why we so resilient, intelligent and caring to our siblings with the end game of passing on our genes. We are being used by our genes to allow them to live forever. Genes are immortal. So can you blame the individual being used for trying to be immortal and live forever as their genes....in the next article I will major on this.
Back to genes.
The sole purpose, the core purpose of living is to pass on our genes when we are of age. So why become doctors, inventors, Mahatmas and Nelson Mandelas? The other purpose of life is to help your related genes live on too because despite our genes being selfish, they are altruistic to their related genes. They selflessly assist each other survive. Had they been too selfish then we would have not formed villages to pool our resource and fight against a common enemy like wild animal or hunted together to increase our chances.


So why invent green energy sources with zero effect to the environment and try to look for new planets to move to when earth becomes unlivable....it is to assist our related genes to be passed on. To help mankind live on.
