Live for eternity? Sure, why not? What would be the difference between being alive for an eternity or being dead for an eternity. Since time would be eternal, it would cease to have all meaning, 100 million years would be absolutely nothing, not an infintesimal decimal of a percent. I don't believe that you'd ever run out of stuff to do because conditions are in a constant state of change. At least that would be if either of 2 out of 3 predicted futures* of the universe are correct. And if your dead and cognizant of it, then there would be no difference, you'd just be dead instead of alive, still left to face the concept of EXISTING for an eternity. Of course if you cease to exist when you die then it would be better to be dead, because you would no longer have anything to worry or care about, cause you'd be non-existant.

*1. The universe keeps on expanding forever. 2. The universe expands until an equilibrium is met and stays that final size forever. 3. The universe expands, then stops expanding, then begins collapsing into an infinitly small point(This is the one I'm pretty sure would cancel the idea of living for eternity).
