That's always been part of the rub for me. The idea of spending an eternity with (insert anything) would be hell. Sounds silly to a Christian, I know. I'm not even going to open that can of worms with you DrichBut everything worth valuing is only appreciated by some measure of its finite nature. Our relationships with people, vacations, a good meal. I feel like I appreciate things much more when I realize how fortunate I am to have been able to experience it. After its come and gone, it's worth pursuing again only after I have lived without it. If I had to spend an eternity riding the most amazing wave I could possibly dream of, then I would know that there's no wave left to dream about. Its nice to imagine a scenario where we are reunited with loved ones, but sharing an eternity of the exact same experiences leaves nothing to share. It just sounds like a counterintuitive proposition from where I sit.
P.s.
Nice line drop
Maybe, that's why the universe/creation is infinite... Infinite life, infinite stuff to explore/experience.
P.s. "I know"
