Blue pill or red pill : Bring back someone to life or have an everlasting life??

When I first faced the choice between having an everlasting life or bringing someone back from the dead, my initial thought was to choose immortality. It seemed like an amazing and the best option for me. I would live life without limits or even with the fear that time is running out. Also, the idea of been able to experience everything the world has to offer, of learning and growing without end, was incredibly tempting.

But then I realized the other side, living forever means I would have to endure endless cycles of joy and sorrow. I would also have to watch loved ones grow old and pass away over and over again, and that thought just felt incredibly lonely and heavy to me. That was when I had the idea that bringing someone back from the dead felt like the better choice.

I thought of the people who I’d choose to bring back to life, and two people stand out , my uncle and my grandmother, both of whom were incredibly important to me.

First, my uncle. He was my dad’s younger brother, and he had this remarkable kindness that made everyone around him feel loved. He passed away at just 55, a time when he still had so much life ahead of him and where he could still achieve more. Losing him was a huge blow to our family and bringing him back would be a dream come true for me and everyone who loved him. We all miss his warmth and generosity, and having him spend time with us again would bring a sense of joy and completeness that’s been missing in the family for a long time.

Then there’s my grandmother. She lived a long, full life, and I had the chance to spend a good amount of time with her when I was younger. Her presence was like a glue that held our family together. After she passed away, it felt like a piece of our family’s heart was gone. The closeness we once had seemed to unravel, and everyone started drifting apart. The bonds we shared was broken and everyone just started living life on their own without caring about the welfare of other family members. She really did play a big role while she was alive and I just feel If I could bring her back, even at a younger age than when she died, it could help restore our family’s unity and bring back those cherished moments we used to share with each other. Her return might not only bring back fond memories but also heal the divisions that have appeared in our family over time.

In the end, while the idea of living forever without kicking the bucket sound exciting, it’s the thought of reconnecting with loved ones and healing old wounds that feels more meaningful to me. The idea of restoring those precious relationships and bringing back the warmth and togetherness that defined our family is what really matters. Immortality might offer endless possibilities, but nothing can replace the joy of being with those we’ve lost and the chance to rebuild what we once had.
