Unhappy In Heaven. Get Me Out Of Here Before I Kill Myself!
Don’t know where this came from though I am all of a sudden interested in what people think heaven is supposed to be like!
Peter Smith
I’m okay, I’m perfectly fine with it. The clarity of no more. At least I’m not sitting around thinking of having pie with my Grandmother or seeing my childhood dog Swift. Would be confusing and riddled with anxiety thinking I had people waiting to see me.
Daunting actually don’t you think?
Nobody really wants to go to heaven if it is as taught to us. Why don’t people talk about it, they say they can’t wait to get there, where? Gotta be overpopulated if you think of every living soul that ever was and made the cut is there. Once your in its forever you know. I wonder if you misbehave what happens ? Don’t we all need a little mischief in our lives? If everybody is so dam good then you can no longer make the claim. Doesn’t it take some bad to know you are good? Like my Father used to say “the world needs stupid people, how the hell else will you know your not one!
Who knows what people are doing up there, would you have a job and cut the grass on Saturday mornings? So what’s going on up there and please don’t tell me everybody is hanging around waring white and acting spiritual. What about running in to people that you know, ya they made it in but they are on that list of people you would be fine if you never ran into them anyway. I’m not interested in relatives I don’t know would be cool though to meet some historical figures I think I would seek out Captain Cook and Winston Churchill for a chat, they won’t want to see me I suspect. Things could get a little weird!
Everything is perfect and beautiful and no 6oclock news. What about those that don’t even like people, what’s there heaven look like?
So when you were a kid, probably 6 or 8 and you were told this extraordinary story about if your good you go to heaven and live forever. Of course at that age your only thought is ya whatever, can I bring my cat? I remember thinking can we see what hell looks like on our way.
Your grown up now and have heard the same stories from credible people and still you say nothing. It’s not supposed to be like Santa Clause and you grow out of it! Hundreds of millions of people are damn sure that’s where they are going. Nobody talks about it, it doesn’t come up yet it is the evermore we are talking about. I don’t get it, is there an adult version I haven’t Heard about? Are people afraid it’s not true or prefer going in blind? Why don’t we have a “Heaven” holiday? I can just see the adds on TV “come on down, heaven can wait we got microwave ovens and chicks for free”.
What about family dinners and who not to invite? Don’t you try and tell me there is no food in heaven. How do we get around, what time is it ? Apparently we do have physical mass so one would expect lots of sex but can’t imagine anyone is getting pregnant. So the official description by the Presbyterians is an average age of 33, we are likely not clothed and sex is expected! Hmmmm , Wait a minute, wouldn’t that be fornication for pleasure maybe there is more to it than pie!
When heaven is spoken of typically it’s about The past and ones behavior. I wonder if you learn yourself and of others what score everybody got to get in. I think I would want to just make it in with a little mischief and adventure still in me. Is it about getting what you want is there structure, are there rules or maybe we are somehow sanitized and no such thing as bad behavior.
What if I am wrong? Do I have to go to heaven or can I choose my nothingness?
What some or many I don’t Know which believe of heaven and the scene they heard of as kids. Mostly because if that is the common belief why does it not come up in conversation? I mean in terms of what life will be like but not in the context of religion.
What about the newly married widower who loved his departed wife and now he is in heaven with both of them and thinks he saw his high school sweetheart, could get a little awkward I think. I’m thinking about big Joe Tanner from Junior High and I will have to tell him it was me who took his bike after school that day so I could meet Claudia Krohn on the beach. I deserved a black eye for that stunt. Joe will now have to forgive me, no black eyes in heaven. I’m so confused, what the hell goes on in Heaven , is it the Hotel California or are you free and happy, maybe not… Is it heaven because you can do anything you want or is it someone else’s idea of heaven and we must follow the rules or be punished. How do you get punished in heaven? Maybe you are served a warm plate of the best cookies you ever had but they won’t let you have milk!
I’m thinking of my favorite Twilight Zone episode. The Aliens land and they are all nice and help us a lot. Some of them are walking around with the manual of how to best serve Man. Lots of people heading off to there planet for a good time. A very happy time until someone deciphers the manual and learns it’s a recipe book “To Serve Man”
