If everything is reletave, how is eternal suffering/happiness possable

[hitch1978]

This thread is not for the discussion of wether there is/can be a heaven or hell.

So after 100,000,000 years of having my toenail pulled out, I'm not going to be that bothered by it any more am I?

Everything is relative, so for me to endure eternal suffering it has to increase, right? Same goes for eternal happiness. The only reason I can experiance pain or joy now, is by a process of comparing my current state to my average state, right?

Now the only way I can see it is if I were to become a god. Let me briefly explain.

I could experiance a continued, but not eternal, state of any emotion right now. At some point, the stimuli I was recieving in ever increasing doses to attain the perpetual state of feeling would reach maximum. That is to say, the maximum my body/mind is capable of dealing with. The only way to continue this increase in stimuli would be to increase the ways I was capable of recieving it. An eternal time frame means an infinate upgrade in my sensory devices, no?
