Ooh Heaven's a Place on Earth

Kash used to say,don't start a story from the beginning. Start from the middle, a shock moment, and wind out from there. As a technique, it worked wonderfully. But in some ways fairy tales remained superior. How can you beat that classic start anyway? And so, one day the tale that will be...

Once upon a time there was man. He was lord of the skies and the seas. Every land he conquered, he pillaged. And the Earth threw up all her bounty, for her beloved to consume with insaitable greed. And he gnawed her very bones, removing every last scrap before sucking out the marrow. And the lands that were once a part of them, were now pictures of their downfall. Until one day the sound rang out, shattering the very fabric of their existence. And they were no more. The End.

Ahh, perhaps a little dramatic, but an end nonetheless. All religions do believe in the existence of some sort of end. A heaven, or a Nirvana. Eternal joy, eternal happiness. It's worrying where your thoughts might escape too in those restless moments of hours-long shut-eye but no sleep. What's the promise? No pain, no fear, no sadness. Question. How do you measure happiness without something to measure it up against. What do you do when the chance of failing leaves. What envy there can be of those in a better place must eventually leave. After all, eternity is an awfully long time. And with nothing to accomplish how long can the life of the idle rich please?

Well yes, anything is better than the torment of hell-fire. But while that is rife with elaborate details of how unbearable it shall be, Heaven is a place of endless bliss with rivers of milk and wonders unimaginable. I dunno, this be no time for a conclusion, but what might be a sketchy one at best leaves a couple of options. Either the human psyche will need to be tweaked or have a missing sprocket replaced. Or we've not been told something. Personally I prefer the latter.

Then again, I'd prefer not being woken up at 1 30 after having slept just an hour ago with a splitting headache, only to spend the next 2 hours awake and then dreaming of demons and telekinesis. ^_^

Ooh heaven is a place on earth, phaw!
