Heaven vs. Earth

"This world is not our home; we are looking forward to our everlasting home in heaven."
--- The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren

In the beginning, this world was pure. But when Eve ate the forbidden fruit, impurity started to become prevalent. The world became a much colossal place. It became rigid and shallow. It became a zone for wars and terror. It became a breeding ground for sensationalized "breaking news". It became materialistic and less thankful. It became a place where hurt and loneliness surpasses the feeling of happiness and freedom.

This world has become a painful place to live in ever since sin was born. There's too much stress, too much pain and too much pressure. Time here is always wasted on emotions that are superficial. Energy is always wasted on overanalyzing things that are not suppose to be overanalyzed.

Heaven, on the other hand, is where clarity strikes. It is a place where happiness and freedom prevail. It is a place where sin no longer exist. It is a place where you can see God smiling at you saying, "you belong better here than you do on Earth."

I want to see Heaven.

. . . kasi sa Heaven, hindi ako masasaktan
. . . kasi sa Heaven, walang gulo, walang away
. . . kasi sa Heaven, nandon si God para bantayan ako ng mabuti
. . . kasi sa Heaven ko lang mararamdaman ang tunay na kasiyahan

I know there's a reason why I'm still living on this planet. I know that God wants me and the rest of the people in this world to feel and learn from every worst feeling this world has to offer.

I can't wait to go to Heaven. I can't wait to go home. I can't wait to be happy forever.

Hi there. I know you mean well, but reading this blog really saddens me. it saddens me how you cannot see the beauty of this planet, and the beauty of the universe. how amazingly complex and intricate life around us is. i personally do not believe in a god of any kind, or in imaginary places such as heaven or hell. i agree society and life in general is stressful. what we have to do is realise this life is all we're going to get. so why not get out there and see the world, and its majesty. ull be surprised how much more beautiful the real world is compared the heaven you speak of.
