And also, I am not flat, yet I live in something that is?
I ignored what?

There are so many things we don't understand about the universe and the fact that I know I won't be around to know them is very frustrating.Forever? Hopefully you did not actually mean that. First of all, that would be impossible due to the impending heat death, and second, that would be absolutely TERRIBLE. Everyone you ever loved or will love will die while you continue living. You would go through genocides, and wars, and devastating natural disasters. You would watch the most brilliant people wither away and die. Living forever is DEFINITELY something I would never wish of doing.
Sorry for the late reply: Why would heat death make it impossible to live forever? All that stuff, granted to a lesser degree than what would entail with an inifinite life, happens during anyone's life. Loved ones can die within your lifetime, disasters can happen in your lifetime; everybody dies.
Life is suffering to be sure, but that doesn't mean I'd rather end it all than get to experience the remnants of pleasure and happiness in between.
