Most of the people in churches preach about how this life is inconsequential and how a mere 100 or so years on earth pales in comparison to an eternal life.
The problem here is that the people who say this fail to comprehend the insane length of time that is a hundred years and also don't understand the meaning of 'eternity'.
I'm sure all of you know what it means to be eternal and if you aren't aware Google it. So I was curious, with an eternal lifespan most of us, probably everyone at some point or the other would go crazy and choose to kill ourselves out of heartbreak or sheer boredom, while a rare few will probably find something so interesting that they'd have to devote their eternity to.
Like a quote from one of my favourite webnovels ever " Eternal life isn't something that is entirely grand or unachievable but do you have an obsession or a goal so unreasonable only the length of an eternity will allow you to achieve" . It goes something like that but that isn't it but you get the gist. Only an outrageous goal can support an eternal being.
Me personally I'd like to travel across worlds, meet interesting people and document their stories. Yep I'd love to build a library full of the stories of people I'd meet throughout my eternal existence. The bookkeeper of civilizations.
What about you? What grand goal will keep you from killing yourself out of boredom.
