Does anyone else find living forever and being dead forever equally

This is of course barring reincarnation. I've thought about it more because there's been more buzz in futurologist circles about aging being cured within the next few generations.

I know, but that's not the point. The LIVING me dreads it because it knows there's infinite time after that point too that I miss out on and can't come back to, I know the dead me won't.

But living forever seems like a torture in its own merit unless we lose our memories and become "new" people eventually.

I know some popsci people are saying we'll have biological immortality within a few hundred years and people will live to be around 8,000 years old on average due to accident statistics, and that number will increase until we either go out due to a doomsday event, succumb to heat death of the universe, or figure out how to master entropy/planeswalk to different universes and live literally for eternity.

I mean if I had to pick I'd choose living forever but that doesn't mean I'd be happy about it.

I've tried being religious/spiritual but can't. I mean, I think that it's totally possible that a world as crazy as this one isn't the only one we can experience/that exists but I don't have a strong faith on anything.
