everyone I know says that anyone can die. But its my belief that you only die once you believe you can. there are many points in history when people believed that they were immortal and for the time they thought that they did not die. as an example Hitler, before he was a dictator he was in WWI. during which he had multiple times were he should have died but did not and he began to believe he couldn't die. many years later he had many attempts on his life. One that most remember was when a time bomb was placed in one of the columns behind the podium where Hitler was to give a speech in the Burgerbrau Beer Cellar in Munich. he suddenly ends his speech and departs. Eight minutes later the bomb explodes killing eight people and wounding sixty-five. another time was when he was making plans and a briefcase containing a bomb was placed under the map table 5ft. From him and when it went off and he was only slightly wounded. yet when his empire had fallen and he believed he could die he killed his family then himself. thus proving my theroy.

You know there is one theory that Hitler did not actually kill himself but lead people to believe he did.

Life unending until we can visualize or accept that we're mortal? Would be interesting...those that are mentally handicapped from birth would then in essence be the immortals.

Believing in death being a prerequisite for death...interesting to think about the changes such a belief would make in our perceptions and baselines. cool post...

not exactly beacuse they cant accept that they can live or die and most of the time someone tells them that they are going to die if they cant accept that they are in fact mortal or immortal than i would think that they would be mortal.

Maybe the mentally handicapped would just simply be deathless.

Do you think we can change our beliefs?
