Hello,
Would we still seek the power and influence over others? To many survival is the main drive of living, often arts & literature can also be mapped over it? If there is no death and aging then what would be the drive behind our actions?, since survival is gauranteed.

overcrowded.
Re: How would it be without death?
as far as current knowledge goes, life without death would be a sentence. After all, by the time you're 130 you will be suffering from sooooo many illnesses that you wished you were dead.
moreover, suppose you cannot die, what would happen if you got into an accident and your body is split in halves?
Re: How would it be without death?
Happily as a Hanood, I beileve in re-incarnation, so death is just going onto to new and interesting life with new and interesting people.
Re: How would it be without death?
I believe we would not appreciate "life" as it is now.
Re: How would it be without death?
amazing topic. i do know that reminding oneself of one's own death & also comtemplating over it, makes one stronger, as we realize that the time we have is little & a lot needs to be done and done right :>
therefore, if we did not know death as we know it now, i presume that there will not be any or very little a sense left of meaningfuleness in life- a desire to leave the world in a better shape.
nothing in the creation of our Maker, keeps on living. everything has an end.
there must be a reason for it to be so.
& as such, i think that feeling doubtful about the usefulness of natural death after a life-span is pointless.
present is a gift, future is to be made better & past is for us to learn from. rest is up to destiny, which way we will end up.
hopefully, after having lived a meaningful life & after having accomplished something good.
Re: How would it be without death?
Now, You can call it a life.
What if I call it a death. We both havent been on the other side. so you name it life and I call it death.
If I ask your soul " who are you and where you came from" and if it could speak, I am sure it will call it death and like to go free again,
alive again.

Would we still seek the power and influence over others? the main drive of living is Love with benefit of Sex.(HELLO)
what would be the drive behind our actions?, since survival is gauranteed.
If each person had their partner of choosing, what you describe is known as Paradise eternal life; NO aging; and an end to Death...
Like Zaheer ud din Babar would then change his saying:
**Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you will not die?...:D **
