What can I say? sums up pretty well the idea of what it's like to live for eternity, it's a torture. When a routine becomes too routinuous, you get burn out, and when burn out becomes too much, you're likely to lose your mind, and what happens when you just keep on losing your mind? Well in the case of a living person, it's probably going to lead to cardiovascular diseases and eventual death.

In the case of eternal life? you just eternally suffer.

As hard as it is to accept, consciousness is merely a tool to solve problems better. In a "perfect" scenario, you don't have that.

That's why I think that the Abrahamic divine can be summed up as a cosmic mad man who's lost so much of his sense that he is probably just toying with the universe in a sort of a sick theatre.

I think that if you manage to turn this into something of a story, it could be a great philosophical, exestential scare kind of thing. Because right now it's a personal, kind of an opinionated philosophical article. Try to tell it as if you're telling a story. That is if you're ready to.

Also, if it makes you feel better, I sometimes force myself to write whatever is painful to, because if I relate, the audience will probably to. If you're interested in knowing which of my stories I've written that were painful to write, I don't mind sharing.
