If everything in life was perfect, everyone had a large home, everyone made a million dollars a year, disease and rainy days did not exist, then no one would appreciate any of it. Just as there would not be any sorrow or hard times, there would be no joy or appreciation, just a muted dull existance. Our favorite stories are those where there is a big crisis, things look as bleak as they can get, but then people or the hero are able to defeat the crisis or villian. If we watched a movie of people who woke up to sunny days and ate crumpets and drank tea every day and played video games and strolled on the beach every morning and night, we would be highly bored and have no appreciation for it. I will not argue that the extremes of suffering are necessary. But a life without risk, is a life without reward. |
Then how are we supposed to enjoy heaven if we get there? Or is there pain and suffering in there as well?
