My nightmares (as with most people) scare the crap out of me. I wouldn't want to deal with that for all eternity. *fear*

/P

Dreaming was the obvious choice for me, as I don't really dream 'bad stuff'... I've had a lot of dreams where I was fighting vampires and stuff, running away from zombies, killing nasty criminals, but those weren't nightmares, on the contrary, I was the Good Guy, the Hero, so it was really cool dreams with a lot of action and in the end I was the winner! So, even my 'nightmares' were good dreams to dream

Apart from the general response of "dreaming" which appeals to me as well, but that looks a bit selfish, i think i could spend the eternity both teaching and learning (dont know which one i like most).
With this I mean sharing my knowledge with other people and get new knowledges from them, not being beside a desk with the feared red pen
When i'm busy in teaching stuff and also when im learning new things i really don't realize time passes, and were it not for phisical needs, I could continue forever
Yeah, keep your brain busy and eternity will look like an instant

PS I hope our Minister of Educations never happens to read this, she might consider it seriously and delaying the day of my retirement forever

Hmm I dont know ... eternity seems like a long time ...
 damnit i cant pick   perhaps being happy  

[Laysha]

Yeah I'd like to be happy for eternity.

Although, how can we define happiness without having been upset/hurt/frightened/depressed first? If we were happy for eternity, surely we would not know that we were happy as we would have had nothing to compare to.
Am I going too deep with this?  

I quite value emotions and how they change. For example, if I am particularly worried about something for a period of time, after that being happy or relaxed feels so much better.

If I were to live for eternity, I would like to watch. Watch how the world and people change. After all, there wouldnt be much else to do.

Anyway, eternity is probably not made for us. We're just humans, couldn't handle it sanely I guess.
I don't believe in God or at least not in religions or bible, I might believe in *something*... for example that we don't really own the universe and there might be some other 'people' around. Just to highlight, I am talking of our race. I don't know if others could handle it but I find it slightly unlikely.

Ah.. now we get into the basis for eternty by Qwer's line of reasoning.  A whole lot of time for "beings" to live.... but this raises up a lot of questions that should be another posty!

Meditating, definitely meditating.
