How so? If I could live a life, if I could live a life full of pleasure, full of enjoyable moments, no pain, no suffering, I would wish for eternal life for sure. Because it is the greatest thing that actually can happen to you. You're spending this life on earth and the only thing that you have is a pleasant life. So what more do you want?
