How do you cope with eternity?

does eternity really mean anything outside the concept of time? 
even then, what's wrong with having an eternity to explore an infinitely expansive universe with an infinite variety of lives and a timeline that stretches into eternity with an infinite amount of variations to choose from?

How do you cope with non-eternity?


just because you have eternity doesn't mean that things won't matter to you
for ex: it'd matter to you whether or not you get the thing you want today instead of a trillion years from now.

and stopping things is still possible even over infinite timescales;
as long as you decrease the chance of a thing happening by 50% every time your age doubles, then you can keep the chance of the thing happening EVER below 50% forever.

boredom says more about the subject than about the subject's situation.
a dog would be bored surrounded by books; that's not a strike against books, but about the dog.
That's just a surface level intuition, but I can dive deep to deconstruct boredom for you if you're interested.


no matter how long an eternal lives for, he will always be at the begging of his lifespan.


are we missing something about the concept of eternity? it's literally just 'that which doesn't end'.
the concept of necessarily waking up tomorrow is not rocket science.

and it's not scary either since your to-do list can grow without limit, and much much faster than your ability to do the things on that list.
so if you think about it, an eternal wouldn't just never run out of things to do, but would actually even accomplish infinitely LESS than a mortal would, when comparing what percent of their respective to-do lists they completed.

I would get started on pic related.
