You, sir, have just described the puritan religion.

Yeah seriously eh… imagine a world where you had no emotion, because everything was good always with nothing ever being bad. You would turn into a zombie.
I think a really bad acid trip for eternity would be pretty crazy cause I’m pretty sure I’ve seen eternity already in the cloud of a drug binge… so I’d say being in eternity and seeing eternity would multiply exponentially to approach some new… worse eternity of crazyness and despair.
But seriously… I’d say the worst way to spend it would be if you were teased sexually… but never allowed to touch your mommy daddy button for eternity… that would be bad

I think it would be some guy with a video of your entire life who would go over everything you ever did and explain how, if you would have only done something slightly different here or there you would have lived 1000 times more happier and more fully, or how you could have made the world so much better, or what the witty comeback would have been to that insult in the 7th grade instead of the incredibly lame thing you said. To go over and over about what could have been if only…
Whenever I hear or think the words “if only” I know I’m in for painfully useless information.
