The End of Things Always Is Painful.

In some classic Christian doctrine, the world has to be despised. Eternity is that dimension of here and now, which thinking in time cuts out. If you don't get it here, you won't get it anywhere. The experience of eternity right here and now is the function of life. All life is sorrowful, as the first Buddha is saying,. It wouldn't be life if there were not temporality involved.
