I think I unlocked a new existential fear
A few months ago I read a story where magic comes to earth and everyone gains a unique power based on their happiest memory and their greatest fear, this got me thinking about what I would answer would be and at the time I determined that loosening my memory is probably my greatest fear.
Well I started reading that story again I started thinking about those questions again and I realized something that is probably just as terrifying in its own way
Stagnation
Think about this for a second, imagine if someone took a screenshot of you as you currently are and from this moment in time, unable to grow, learn, change, truly live, or even die.
Part of me wants to sum this up to what a single immortal would feel but no, even if an immortal would be able to learn and adapt to the world around them. Whereas the idea of being completely unchanging both mentally and physically would be a torture so infinitely worse because
You would be aware of your nature
The understanding that as the world changes around you no matter how much or how long you try you are unable to adapt, sympathize, or even learn about it, the thought just terrifies me
