--Right! I have no desire to be with myself that long! I don't think 
I'm nearly that interesting.

"But if every day of your life in eternity were even more wonderful 
than the best and happiest and most fulfilling day you've ever had as 
a mortal, and if you were experiencing joys and pleasures which were 
infinitely stronger than anything you've ever known here on earth, 
then you really wouldn't want it to end.  It's only because we see so 
much depressing stuff, and experience so much tedium and frustration, 
that eternal life seems like an intolerable burden."

--I guess I can't see perfection as perfect. Life is only wonderful 
because it isn't perfect. Because we are constantly learning from our 
mistakes. That however is just my view, of course.

Someone mentioned the book 'Tuck Everlating'. I read this years ago, 
in the fourth (?) grade. It is a really good book and an interesting 
one on this subject. 

BTW, how about posting more of these interesting question SML!
