   There's a meme that was circulated some time ago about a dead man about to be   
   reincarnated as a spirit living as every single human past, present, and   
   future as part of a spiritual learning process. Which is nice and reassuring   
   in the short-term. But    
   what happens at the end? What is the goal? Does an immortal soul ever stop   
   learning?   
      
   Eternity scares me. An eternity of learning, or an eternity of having learned   
   everything there is to learn.   
      
   I read the last book of the Bible in high-school and the thought of a   
   forever-afterlife in a golden city singing praises to God seemed more   
   frightening to me than being tossed into a pit of fire and being cast out of   
   existence altogether. I'd almost    
   rather cease to be than live eternally in static absurdity.
