Not a story, not a poem. It's more of a... thought.

I dunno, I wanted to type what I feel. I don't know if this is the right thread to type it in or not, but... If it's words, if it tells a subject, then I believe the Writing thread is the right place for it to be.

 

 

 

I once thought eternity was ridiculous. Who would want to live forever? For thousands of years, to have nothing but pain until the world perishes?

However, other thoughts altered that belief.

I still miss my grandma. There aren't days when I don't think about her. I was even scared today... I almost forgot her voice... But it would come back when I picture her saying "Tricia, I love you". It would be wonderful to hear her voice - her laugh - again.

Then, I thought-- Is eternity bad? Only for one's self, but what about those who are loved? If Grandma had eternity, I would be able to come see her every chance that I got to here her voice, to see her face.... Eternity is great if you never lose those you love...

Of course, there are the bad sides. Eternity is not the same as invincible. I wouldn't want her to be suffering in pain for all eternity.

So, in the end, whether it's for yourself, or it's for someone that you love, eternity is, and forevermore, a selfish thought that can never come true.

However, I believe in the one eternity that my grandma would have told me about-- the one that she lives in. It's at all of our final destinations. A world with no pain, no sorrow... and with all of those that you love.

That is eternity. One that we would all dream of accomplishing until the day we die. When we do, we will reach our paradise.... our eternity.... with those that we love....

wow...that was deep, sad and enlightening. I'm sorry about your grandmother Tricia.

(I still don't know how to reply to that apology, so I'm not exactly going to reply.... ^^' )

first sorry for your grandmother and second i think eternity could by great if your not alone

Yeah, true, but remember-- eternity is different than invincible. We could stay with the ones that we love forever, but at the cost, both of you would have enduring pain forever.

I'm sorry for your grandma Tricia, and eternity ofr me isn't like everyone thinks, I think that when we die we go to another place, there we work to help the one we love and left here on Earth, and probably we'll have someone that went before waiting for us.
