^ I agree with you on that. You only have one life...and you should cherish it, because it will be the ONLY life you'll ever get. BUT...we are all human...and our lifetime here on Earth is finite. It WILL end some day. While you are correct that vampires also only have ONE lifetime...it is different for them. Their lives are NOT finite because they are immortal. They do only have one life...but it's a life that has a potential to last forever. Most humans recall their childhoods as time of learning new things and self discovery. That's because we were young and inexperienced. After eons of living and doing the same things...vampires get bored. The Romanian Coven, for example, found life was little challenging....and basically just sat on their thrones while humans were brought to them. They just sat for ages and ages...that's why look differently from younger vampires. They sat still for so long...that dust actually settled in permanently inside their cells. They were bored...so they just sat still and immobile for century after century. Marcus is a good example...he's bored with life...and is ready to die. Edward at the beginning of MIDNIGHT SUN was also like this. he was extremely bored with life. But Bella brought a new zest for living to Edward. I believe some of the crueler and evil vampires are only that way because they're bored...and witnessing their prey suffer is something they've grown to enjoy.
