Hmmmm. Not sure if I'm misinterpreting the OP, but here goes.
Eternal life, as in, here on earth, would pose some problems that you'd need to deal with. If we never died, divorce would become a 100% given. Even disownment would have a very high occurrence, I'd think. Families are not perfect. Also, would we physically age as we are right now? I'm 39 and my back frequently aches, and my right knee has felt on the verge of an ACL tear for the last month. What'll happen when I'm 39,000 years old?
Also, what about our work lives. When would retirement come?
And how would we adapt to linguistic changes? Middle English is not the same as what we speak, that's for sure.
If the OP is talking about an eternal afterlife...well...depends who's running the show. The Christian god seems like a creep, and no other god seems much better. Also, heaven could be extremely boring or it could change as quickly as we can envision what's in it, which would be kind of unsettling.
