An eternal life is a worthless life.

[Napoléon]

Do people forget things, in heaven? That might help for a little while, but it won't fix the issue, just postpone it. Think you can forget something you've done eighty million times?

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to. Your line of thinking assumes that we'd be doing something over and over and over. We eat food every day but we don't get bored of that. If we ate the same meal, sure that would get boring. But if you're not eating the same meal every day then boredom is not really a factor, because by the time you come to eat it again, you've had your fill of other things in between.

Your answer to the question assumes that an eternal life would mean an eternal memory also. A memory where we remember every detail and every emotion. If not, then there's no reason to assume we wouldn't be able to forget.

The question is pretty flawed IMO because it doesn't define what kind of life we're talking about. If it's the exact same as what we have now, except for no ageing, and we assume the sun lasts forever as well as the climate conditions on our planet, I think it's safe to assume our memory would work the same way too. The real question is how much information can our brain take in before it starts pushing other stuff out. Considering our brains already do this with a finite life, it's a safe bet it would do the same with an infinite one.
