Picture having everything you want. You've won the lottery 4 times and now have close to a billion dollars. You've spent your money buying everything you want. You've started foundations making and impact on the world around you. With a little extra cash, you started a growing wind farm to erase the carbon footprint you created. Your entire families debts were erased. All the time you have is spent traveling and doing whatever it is you want.
How long can you remain happy?
There is a common thing among most religions about a soul existing forever or spending eternity in some celestial place. Even in a perfect world, heaven, doesn't the idea of eternity scare the crap out of you? What my mind is capable of conceiving as perfect, is still not something I would want to last forever.
Have you heard the story about the brass sphere 100' in diameter? Every century, an eagle flies past and gently brushes the tip of its feather briefly touches the surface of this sphere. When that sphere is eroded down to dust—the beginning of eternity has passed.
Seriously, think about that!! Even in absolute perfection, can you imagine existing that long? I think at some point, no matter how perfect, I would want things to end. Lights out, that's it, my existence is over. I'll say I don't think 85ish years will be enough to satisfy me, but I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of eternity.
Say you do make it to heaven in the presence of God. I would hope that at some point in his grace, that you could request your time to be over. He smiles, shakes your hand, you close your eyes, and that's it. That is my idea of perfection—getting to choose when you're satisfied.
