Greek mythology : Tithonus: The Desktop Without a Monitor
Once upon a dawn, Eos, the goddess of the morning sky, fell in love with a handsome mortal named Tithonus. She wanted to be with him forever, so she asked Zeus for a magical gift: immortality!
But oh no—Eos forgot one tiny thing: she didn’t ask for eternal youth.
Tithonus became immortal… but kept aging. He grew wrinkly and tiny, like a little raisin, and babbled endlessly about “back in my day.” Meanwhile, Eos floated by, sighing, wishing she’d read the fine print.
Moral: If a god offers you forever, check the fine print. Immortality without youth is like having a never-ending grandpa stuck in your Alexa.
Hindu mythology : Bhishma: The Human Pincushion
In a faraway kingdom, Prince Bhishma faced a big family problem. His father, King Shantanu, wanted to marry a fisherwoman—but her price was high: her future child must become king! Bhishma was already the heir.
So, brave Bhishma made a mighty promise:
He gave up the throne ✅
He vowed never to marry ✅
He decided when he would die ✅
But life had other plans. During a great war, Bhishma was struck by 50 arrows and lay on a bed of them for days—unable to die until he finally chose to. Ouch!
Moral: Always read the whole terms of service. Even being a hero with ultimate control can come with painful surprises.
Universal Truth: Immortality deals are like IKEA furniture—miss one screw, and everything collapses tragically.
