I don't think anyone really knows what or how people's thoughts would change if they were to live to a thousand years (or a million, whatever).

Given that, I think there are probably different feelings which we all call bored. There is bored in the immediate term, bored in general, and ennui.

That notion goes both ways. How do you know we'll be so bored that we'd give up immortality? Extrapolating from information we already have I'd say we get plenty bored with about 80 years of life... I think we'd do well with another million.
