Eternal life is just a child dream. People die. It ends to them, most for the friends left, grief.

Yeah to me eternity seems really hard to picture. I cant imagine existing for eternity. I dont know how theists (the branches that have eternal souls after death) do it. Maybe they just havent thought out the concept of infinity properly.

It's why I've said that any kind of eternal afterlife which I cannot choose to end would be hell, regardless of destination.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
