Let me tell you something about your afterlife ---

What makes any life beautiful and worth living is the chase to discover more before the end.

Well said and true.
In the current condition and mentality, a long life would begin to be pure torture.
That's why we have to be mentally prepared and physically changed.
Here is what the physical change is - the new body is made up of the old body or the one we have now, combined and transformed into the new.
The old body is renewed to perfection, with the addition of incredible power and performance.
The mental preparation is mostly completed here. The mind is to be transformed after the likeness of the mind of Christ. This is done for us through cooperation and example.
The conditions for entering eternal life are to be in harmony with the ten laws of God, when summarized are respect for God, and others as we respect ourselves.
So, what you're saying is that you'll be physically and mentally transformed to the point that you won't really be "you" any more. Why in the fuck would you even want that?!?

Nope. I am who I am as much because of my failures as my successes. Perfection is just another lie you asshats tell yourselves to feel better about thinking you get to go someplace wonderful while the majority of those who ever lived go somewhere far worse.
