If all our sorrows (our "momentary lightness of affliction") are supposed to evaporate in the light of eternity, then how does anyone manage to get excited about the positive stuff in life? If the negative, tears, pain, suffering is wiped away, the positive accomplishments, goals, aspirations, interests are too. How then, are we supposed to go through each day putting our energy into any of it?

As I write that I'm aware it sounds depressed. Not sure if I'm depressed or if I'm King Solomon (vanity of vanities, all is vanity, etc...).
