But basically i see it as a no win situation (not that i want to !). The thought of an afterlife seems to me to suggest that we go on forever. If life is eternal then at some point it has to become tedious, and the thought of looking forwards and never seeing and end will not settle right in my head (just as it can't comprehend that space goes on forever). But the thought of not existing,
not feeling,thinking, being also scares me. I can't imagine it, it seems so surreal.
But if life goes through eternal cycles who knows who or what you will be in the future, something so radically different to the being you are today that the question of tedium becomes redundent. Each new existence may be like a new awakening with the past a barely remembered dream if even that. You might not get the chance to become bored, although IMO this life on it's own can be pretty tedious!



What would you do for the rest of forever?
