Haven't had time to keep up with the thread (does anyone anymore?) but, as for this post, "Yes, of course!"

From my perception, and I admit that because I am human, I see things from a narrow, human perspective, eternity must be boring. Pain that is being experienced is agony, but once the experience is done, it is forgotten - the worst aspects of existence can be perceived as mere grist for the mill of human experience, and of divine experience. I do not believe that God wants us to suffer, but how better to become empathetic than to suffer? And what better way to improve mankind than for humans to become empathetic?
