[QUOTE="VCR-2000, post: 75648435, member: 415812"] I relate to some parts of OP story, mainly the wish to do the "American dream" thing which I feel like I didn't get to achieve. Growing up I heard that eternity in Heaven is to be great. But I don't seem to have the "draw" to it. I am more excited about looking forward to doing or having that cool thing which I wanted, especially if I didn't have the chance to on this earth. I'm not "drawn" naturally to the spirit, at least not by and of itself. When I have an image of eternal Heaven, I imagine a place more or less comparable to a celestial North Korea where people are brainwashed to only want to praise dear leader and anything else is forbidden or you are brainwashed to forget about it. And unlike Kim Jong Un or any other earthly leader, God is eternal and can't change, which means you can't escape him or overthrow him, and you can never die and leave the party anyway. The only trait that really matters is your devotion to God and everything else is nihilist of unimportant, like a cosmic form of socialism in a way. [/QUOTE]
