There Is a short novel from Jorge Luis Borges and it´s called "The immortal", eventually immortals pass their time passively laying in the mud, they are SO bored. It would be, every relation would turn out to be short term (what are 20 30 40 years stretched in an endless existance), the rituals enacted would get boring, an immortal would have to be forgetfull(would you want that?), and than our soul would be trapped eternally in the same beeing. BORING.
