Samiya,* "forever"* is NOT a timespan, it is the *infinite* (maybe without an end, or without a beginning?) so your 'to live forever' may mean: IT IS OVER WITHIN THE INSTANT IT STARTED. (Or: it may indeed mean a duration without an end, as you suggest).
THE 'HARD WIRED WITHIN' is natural in an environment of many many generations educated into a belief system from all around. The content may come from Mummy's eary fairy tales for the baby - and completed by studies later on from 'smart' books and 'smart' teachers galore. None has a reasonable evidencing base.
