Agen, you didn' vooote!
Anyway... boring. Hmm. Yeah, I think that's a pretty common answer. My response is, simply, why? Why couldn't you keep finding entertainment?
Aaaand, lonely + nothing you did would have meaning.
Lonely, I can sort of see, IF you assume you're the only immortal. What if you aren't?
But I really don't get how come nothing you did would have meaning? Why not? What meaning would dying bring to your actions?
