Existential Corner: Living Forever: Is it worth it?

I believe that vampire novels are about ageism. There are 4 reasons that I believe this:

1. Once you become a vampire you no longer age.


2. You cover all mirrors.


3. You only go out at night when lighting is most flattering to the elderly or vampires.


4. You no longer have a reflection (THAT would be great).

Eternal life is given to a vampire once blood is drained from them. Blood symbolizes life, and mortality. Blood is not different in vampire novels it gives eternal youth, life and death. by drinking some one's blood a vampire drains or takes human life that is mortal, and replaces it with eternal life (accept for the wooden stake vulnerability). Death is the change the person bitten goes through when he/she no longer is mortal. This "change" introduces everlasting youth and life. In vampire mythology blood is a fountain of youth.

If faced with a real vampire would you choose to be bitten if you had that choice? Would you choose an eternal youth, and life full of darkness, loneliness, and a disgusting diet of blood? Yes, no? Be careful, because some of the choices we make today to stay young are about as pleasant. Giving up desserts for fruit; for instance. HORRIBLE!!!!
