Walking With Him Until I Am Not

For Heaven’s Sake

In Martin’s essay Hell is the place to which those who invent products that cause inconvenience and frustration to consumers should be sent. Unlike the traditional view, Hell is vividly delineated in a comic way: people there not suffering physically and mentally and infernal flames becoming “warm display of affection. Martin redefines Hell to suit his own purpose.

Work on a narrative of Heaven perhaps by following Martin’s model if you like. What does Heaven mean to you? Who is entitled to enter Heaven based on your viewpoint? What would they be doing there?

    For me, I think heaven is a place that doing helpful things of people would go to or the ones who were pure and live simply after die. Heaven is a clean, cheerful place and it was just like the country but with the metropolitan equipments such as MRT. People there are cheerful and everyone has their own duties. There are many substances to buy and they are sold in a large supermarket. The people there are helping the environment such as beautifying the scene by planting flowers, picking litters. The personalities of these people are honest, pure, optimistic and easygoing. They wouldn’t do anything bad.

    In my opinion, heaven is like a place brings people happy and hopes, it’s a place without traffic jam, noise, pollutions, tall buildings and great mansions, everywhere in here is a beautiful scene fills trees and beautiful followers, and the rainbows appear sometimes. Everyone here is friendly, and they are enthusiastic to help each others. In my image of heaven, the angels are must be necessary, there is an angel have to be the position which manage people enter to the heaven. The angel must be chosen by his or her life experiences, and the decision is made from who did the good things at most, then, he or she will have the power to manage.
    Angels in there are not lazy, they still have to work, and the types of works are just like earths’, the only different is angels in heaven don’t feel busy and so anxious like humans, they always do their job with good mood, otherwise, they are optimistic, as long as they face any problem, they face it and solve it positively. The life in heaven not only happy but colorful, if you want to enter here, do more good things.

    In my opinion, heaven is a beautiful and peaceful place without any negative and evil things. And people can feel happy and own happiness at there. People can also understand something they don’t realize and learn something from there life at there. I think only good people and people who really regret their guilt can go to heaven.

    I think heaven is happy place where is filled with love and peace. There are only angels, gods, and kind people. And if I were an angel and have an authority to let dead people go to the heaven, I would like to let the dead people who do a lot of good things to people in his life to go here first. And second qualification is people whose hearts are kind. The last one is people who do bad thing in his life but they are regret and are will to make up. All of these people I choose go to heaven to become angels in order to help people in the world.

    No one doesn’t do wrong thing in the world. If do a slight bad thing so that people can’t enter to the heaven, it seems too extremely. The scene of heaven in my mind is a place where people must have made faults. No matter the faults are big or small, those people only have to turn a new leaf so they can enter the heaven with good moods. I think heaven just is a place for people who are died to recall our lives, and then, ahead to the other lives. The memories may be delightful, or distressed. After review them, we can except that another live would be better.

    I do not think going to heaven should be based on the good things you have done in life. For instance, entry to heaven could be based on lottery, with people randomly selected to enter. No one knows who will go to heaven, and things they do in this world is defined solely on oneself. A person’s intention to do good may not be truly good because he or she might be doing it just to get into heaven. A lottery, on the other hand, would force people to consider whether one is doing it for oneself or “for heaven’s sake”.

    In my point of views, i think heaven was just a place that imaged by people. In the heaven. There were good pople, wonderful things and beautiful things. If you want a ticjet to heaven, you must be a kind person and glad to help people. But things that help people were depended on personal, some people think that was good or that was wrong. There were no definately maybe to judge people who have the righs to enter the heven or not. Only we can do are try our best in every things and always keep a appreciate heart toward others.

    I think Heaven is full of love, happiness and peace. It is not like the place where I live, on the contrast, it is a place where is huge, pure and clean without any noise and garbage. In Heaven, gods and angels live there and they are friendly. The most important thing is to teach people what they have to do in the next step. If you want to live in the wonderful place, you have to do more good things in your life.

    Heaven is a place where nice people are living after death. In the Heaven, there is no bad guys are exist and bad thing happened. Heaven is a reward to whom are always treat other people good instead of selfish. But as long as you have a good heart, no matter how bad you were before, it is allows to entering the Heaven, too. They would be live happy with helping people forever there, and all of them know that offer is the best way among the world.

    I consider that heaven is a place where is no differences when comparing with current condition. There are many buildings, entertainment facilities, schools and houses. People in there are friendly,enthusiastic and optimistic. When someone needs help, they are willing to help them with any cost. They share joy together and have fun together. No one is selfish. On the weekend, people will go to the church to attend worship in the morning. They sing carol and get together. Everyone can go to the heaven after death. No matter he or she is a good person or a criminal before death, everyone can learn to be a good person here. A new life for people to live in the heaven.
