Natter. Also the author clearly intentionally inverted the original moral of the story

* ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' have Harry himself take this stance (and give a long list of the things he would do with his time to Dumbledore, in answer to his WhoWantsToLiveForever position), not only for himself, but for everybody on Earth. He even dreams of the very idea of death becoming nothing more than a grim story that future children aren't told until they're old enough to take it. This facet of the story has faced a fair amount of criticism, as Rowling herself once said the entire ''point'' of the original books was [[NotAfraidToDie being willing to accept mortality]].

* ''Manga/FrierenBeyondJourneysEnd'' : The opening theme, "YUUSHA" expresses the sentiment that, while immortality can make parting with loved ones painful, and the relentless passage of time can erase the traces of precious moments, it's not all bad. The immortal can ensure that the world doesn't forget the dearly departed or their legacy, carrying the memories in their heart, while going on to make new friends and go on new adventures. In the series itself, it would seem that long-lived races [[TimeDissonance don't feel the crush of time as heavily as others]]; Frieren makes plans for 50 years hence as easily as next week.

In the series itself, it would seem that long-lived races [[TimeDissonance don't feel the crush of time as heavily as others]]; Frieren makes plans for 50 years hence as easily as next week. \n In general, elves in this series avoid many of the downsides of semi-immortal lives, and thus are seldom preoccupied with angst over them. Their minds do not decline with age, so they do not ever forget important things or people, and they are accustomed enough to watching shorter lived beings pass away that it doesn't deter them from forming friendships with them. Instead the focus of the sadness is on how shorter lived races tend to forget important people and events within a few generations. Further, elves marry and reproduce so rarely that losing a spouse is rarely ever a issue (indeed it is implied the length of time it takes an elf to even fall in love precludes them from marrying short-lived races to begin with), and the main source of angst an elf may have over losing friends isn't how short their lives were but rather the risk the elf has of their different perspective on time causing them to not make the most of the time they do have with someone. Lastly, every elf is confident that, however long they may live, they will eventually die, so there is no angst over being an immortal in a world of mortals. In their view, they are as mortal as anyone else, just with a much long timespan before that mortality is realized.
