They say in the afterlife that there are certain things that happen, certain events that are 100% sure to take place, and certain beings that you are sure to meet. Ironically, the one that is true before the afterlife comes is that nothing is certain. Nothing at all. No matter how good our planning, no matter how clever our idea, nothing we do here can be absolutely certain. This leaves us all at a crossroads with what we think heaven may be like. We grow here because of uncertainty. Gains, losses, victories, and defeats are all part of what gives us purpose here, in this realm. Hell is having all of the aforementioned removed and replaced by an absolutely predictable outcome for every situation that arises. Nothing new, nothing fresh, and the absolute absence of fear, because there is no unknown. For many, perfection is a noun. It’s something to pursue, and that pursuit is endless. For others, perfection seems too far out of reach to even ponder, and is not worth giving any effort towards attaining. There are few, however, that realize perfection, and it’s opposing spectrum of thought, ignorance, are always present. Like a front, and back, perfection, and imperfection must co-exist, and you cannot have one without the other. Seeing one or the other is simply a matter of perspective, and choice. That is how it is, regardless of which side of life you are on. Trust me, I’ve been on both.
