Depending on your theology,
There is a problem with eternity.
For Theist it is a thought sublime.
For Atheist it is too long a time.
If you want to live forever,
An idea assaults the very clever.
Why should I feel this way?
If I am but mortal made of clay?
For the theist it is inspiration.
God breathes the breath of life.
For the atheist pure frustration,
Animal nature's pointless strife.
Why should I think I am me?
If mere neuron to neuron sparking?
Why not content passing DNA,
Like red salmon to red salmon spawning?
What is this curse in my soul?
Existing but never whole?
Always wanting to be,
Something more than me?

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart.... http://esv.to/Eccles3.11
