Heaven can’t be heaven if other people are in it

Large groups require a governing body. God would be over all, but he’d delegate to other angels/spirits through some hierarchy. These beings would be inherently imperfect as they are not God.

If there’s an imperfect hierarchy, that means they’d dictate imperfect expectations. These imperfect expectations mean sometimes you’d be doing what they want and not what you want. As such, there’d continue to be conflict, disappointment, failure, and stress.

Sounds like hell. Thus -

Heaven can only be heaven if the people are already heavenly.

As such, our goal in life should be to grow in compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and humility.

If we don’t practice these principles now, we may get to heaven and realize… it’s hell.
