Immortality really seems like a curse more than a gift...

Unless you can share it with everyone.

Think about it like this: someone you know passes away, a friend, a parent, I don't know. Would being mortal make it any less saddening? Would being immortal make it worse?
Yes you'll be pretty sad for a while, but eventually it'll fade away, mortal or immortal.

Life can be a curse for some where they watch those they care about die in front of them.Β Immortality, from the perspective of some, compounds it.Β The individual watches all they hold dear turn to ash.Β What keeps them going may vary, but, for some, it's the memory of what they cherished/came to cherish that keeps them going.

I can only imagine how tough it would be to be in Princess Celestia's position. To be immortal, you would basically have to have no social life and no friends. Otherwise you would dwell on the memories of past losses and never really be truly over it.

Speaking as someone who has personally lost friends and loved ones...I don't know where you're coming from. Yes, such loss is difficult. But it occupies very little of my day-to-day life, and the same is true for others to whom I've talked. And dealing with the grief becomes easier with time and, for lack of a better word, with practice. Why should we expect it to be any different over centuries than it is over decades?
And the number of people I've lost to death pales in comparison to the number of friends whom I've simply lost contact with over my lifetime. The friends I am in touch with today are almost entirely different from those I had ten years ago, and those were different yet still from ten years before that. True, so long as neither I nor any of my old friends die the separation could theoretically be ended, but on a practical level time, distance, and circumstance have separated us every bit as much as death could. Well, that and the fact that I don't much use Facebook.
Frankly, I'd be more worried about the whole "royalty" thing being an impediment to making future friendships than the "immortality" thing.

Well I guess from a certain standpoint, if you were born as an immortal, then losing friends or loved ones would be the equivalent of us losing a house pet to them. But yeah, I guess over time you grow more and more resistant to such events. Still though, just thinking about that really makes me sad.

My thought is that it's when royalty and immortality are combined that things get really difficult. Past leaders are often vilified orβat bestβtarnished in reputation over time. But when one continuous leader, like Celestia, has to deal with that same effect, it becomes a perilous tightrope act to stay loved in the eyes of her subjects. It means being very careful in all that she doesβor doesn't do.
This idea was the basis for a very short story I wrote about Celestia a while back: Ever on the Edge.
