eH? You meant that the other way around right?

No, I don't mean that the other way around. Didn't you read all of what I said? Life has meaning because it's short, because you only have a certain amount of time to accomplish what you want to before you die. That's why being immortal would just take the meaning out of life.
Have you seen the movie or read the book "Tuck Everlasting"? In it, this family becomes immortal, and they talk about how their life no longer has purpose because they've already accomplished everything they wanted to. The older of the two sons says how he hates being immortal because he can't get attached to anyone -- he had a wife and children, but they all died. They're just kind of bored with life because it no longer holds meaning for them. That's the point I'm trying to get across.
