Enjoying one's humanity comes with a hefty price! Don't you think?

Imagine living long enough to bury your 80 year-old (elderly) daughter, while you kept the physical traits of a 20 year old barmaid. Imagine the questions that would arise as your friends and relatives aged while you remained ageless. Yes, attaining one's mortality is a burden rather than a gift.

To be locked in a body whose heart stopped beating a century ago might be unsettling. Also, now that Damon's lost his mojo (sense of humor), I don't find him all that appealing but I do understand the sentiment towards regaining one's humanity.

You're forgetting that You can always turn to a vampire You family. It's not set in stone that every vamprie has to watch his close die. I'm not saying that it should be done the way Stefan did it to Damon but there are always two options. Honestly if my parents/lover was vampire there would be no way I would stay human.
Anyway humanity id ability to feel all kind of emotions from pain to love. damon, stefan and other vampires in this show proofed many times that they feel despite being undead. That's why for me this whole I'm monster with no humanity because i'm a vampire thing is pointless and boring. Besides after watching whole season 2 I think that Damon doesn't miss his humanity because he wants to become so desperately mortal. it's because he's lonely and has nobody to share his vampire live with. After all when he was human he had family, and after being turned he had nobody.

But anyway mainly what I don;t like is that there's no vampire show that would show life of vampires from the bright side. Because for my money life of a vampire is much more funnier and itneresting than human life and there's nothing to miss. Vampires can see how world changes and they have a lot of useful abilities. They can see things that other people can only dream to see. But of course we won;t see that on TV. We only see depressed vampries who waste they eternity on problems with selfacceptance :/ At this point TB is better because there al least Eric enjoys his life.
