Your life ends. Instead of whatever mythology you expected(whether it was of some continuance or oblivion) is unmet. Instead: your life begins again. Exactly as you lived it, over and over, forever.
A frightening prospect and an obvious question: Is your life one that you would like to live ad infinitum? Are you the kind of person that you want to be forever?

doesn't one single life amount to eternal recurrence? What does repetition matter without memory? Repeating a life is not the same as reliving it. Endless beads of identical linear experience look no different than a single experience to the one doing the experiencing!
