Eternity? Why worry about what I can't comprehend?

There are a few problems I have with the Eternal Punishment;
It is logically impossible for a finite mind to comprehend the infinite. Nothing in this world remains in its current state, not even atoms. They do not have any permanency in this dimension. No one can even explain eternity. So why worry about it? Even If I went to heaven, spending eternity their doesn't make sense does it? In fact it doesn't sound any better than hell.
So why then do Christians have me worrying being being tortured for eternity?
Pain tells us to react and respond. When you burn your toe or pour hot oil, your brain knows that there's an alternative. That it will have to end. But HOW CAN IT GO ON FOREVER AND EVER? WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE? ETERNAL PAIN? NO HUMAN BEING IN THEIR RIGHT MIND FROM ATHEIST TO CHRISTIAN CAN COMPREHEND ETERNITY? HOW CAN THIS EXIST?
Perhaps eternity is reserved for higher dimensions. But as far as I'm concerned ''I'm only human born to make mistakes.'' And expecting me to do anything else is well....humanly stupid.
