If you haven't shared time with someone in 1,000 years or 1,000,000 years, of what special significance is that time spent. At each moment, our pasts are finite. This is the case whether you live an eternity, or merely 100 years. How does an infinite life span add meaning in a way that is categorically different than what 100 years does?
Are you saying that there is nothing more special than the moment - which is the time we live in, we can't live in the past or future...

but if we no longer exist, then the alternative of living forever is really special isn't it?

What alternative?
