As long as I am happy, having fun, and enjoying my life, then I would want to live like that for perhaps trillions of years or maybe even forever. But as long as I have to live a life of depression, misery, and unhappiness, then that is no way to live for me and it is a life of no value. The fact of the matter is, if I grew tired of living a happy and fun life after 60 or so years, then I would find much value and worth in this life being finite. But I don't grow tired of a happy, fun life and the fact that this life isn't a happy life that lasts for perhaps trillions of years means that it isn't as valuable of a life to me.
One problem with infinity is, you will eventually do everything that anyone could ever think of doing, more times than you can count. And while 80+ years may not be enough for you, that's all the more reason to live life to the fullest. That doesn't make life lose its value. It makes every second even more valuable.
Understood. But it doesn't matter if I was doing the same things over and over again and revisiting the same places over and over again. As long as I feel positive emotions from these things, then my life will always be good and beautiful. It will never get old. The only way it would get old would be if I felt negative emotions such as boredom and despair or if I felt apathy.
