So, I am a Christian. I am not so happy with organized religion, but that doesn't make me stop believing. Anywho, I was asked a question on a myspace survey. The question was, "Do you believe in the traditional definition of heaven and hell?" My first thought was, " What is the traditional definition?" I have been going to church ever since I can remember. I have heard many different interpretations of heaven and hell.
This one pretcher of mine a few years ago had told us one interpretation. That in heaven you won't remember what you did on earth or the people that you had once loved and cared about. They will mean nothing to you now. You will just love everyone and accept everyone that is in heaven.
I liked this idea at first. I try to love and accept everyone on earth. But after thinking about it more I started to hate it. What about the people that you left behind when you died?
The people on earth. And not to mention that people that you loved that didn't happen to go to heaven. Thinking about this made me very upset.
I reliezed that I would much rather remember everything that happened to me on earth after I die than just be content with not loving the people that I chose to love while I was alive. Even the thought of forgeting all the bad things that have happened to me does not make me feel content. I will gladly take the good with the bad. As long as I had those good memories.
In conclusion, this depiction of heaven made me be okay with going to hell.
