But we wouldn't appreciate heaven the same if we didn't have the experience of this lifetime.
I think it still has meaning, but maybe it would be harder to appreciate. There are people who've lived comfortable lives without going through hardships and died happy but I'm sure they'd still appreciate heaven and all the good things they experienced.
Really? I've never met one of them if that's true.
Lol ok.
I wouldn't say that people who live comfortable lives don't go through hardships but I am willing to say is that their hardships are nowhere close to the hardships say a person in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and any other war-torn country faces.
If I had a really nice slice of cake that tasted great, I would know and I would enjoy it without having to eat a really terrible slice of cake first. The terrible cake is not necessary.
Sure it is.....If all you ever ate in your lifetime was awesome cake, you wouldn't appreciate the same if you never had terrible cake!
I agree totally...
I get what you're saying but all I'm saying is that going through terrible things or knowing that terrible things exist isn't required to appreciate good things. But of course one would have a greater appreciation for the good things they have if they've experienced bad things.
This applies for the adults as well generally speaking, of course. And it saddens me because we get to live great lives here only because the people before us stole and ravaged the lands there and still do to this day.
How would you know what is good if there was no bad?
True.
What's good just naturally feels good and right... right? Like if I had never eaten cake before then I tried a really good cake... it would taste good.
Got to leave the office. If I remember this thread and or check it out tomorrow, I'll explain it to you, sister.
