Does 'Staying Young Forever' Sound like a Blessing or a Curse?

I sometimes wonder what my response would be if an angel came down from heaven and blessed me with a never ageing body and an immortal soul. I am not able to figure out if that would make me feel on top of the world or like hitting the bottom. Possibly, it’s a double edged weapon. Who wouldn’t like to capture the fragrance of youth in a blossoming body and keep it that way for an infinite period of time! Who would want to live in an ageing and decaying body with osteoporoticbones, cramping muscles and shriveling skin? No one, I’m sure. Again, looking at the other side of the picture, if everyone stopped ageing then what kind of a world would we expect to live in? Imagine that everyone around you (including you) is young and healthy (as a horse) and is going to stay like that forever.
