What if Heaven isn't a place? What if Heaven is the feeling as you leave this world, of no regrets and unsaid words? What if Heaven is the feeling of bliss as you realize your loved ones will be cared for and know you love them?
What if Hell is truly the realization that you didn't do everything you wanted to? The overbearing, heavy feeling that you didn't say all of your "I love you"s, you didn't take all the chances you should've, you didn't reconcile all the friendships you lost.
What if there is no place after you die; just the relief or regret you experience as you reflect on your past life? As your past choices and cherished memories flash by your eyes and are put to judgment? Whether by yourself or whatever higher being is out there.
What if redemption is realizing and coming to terms with your regrets, while trying to reduce and resolve them? What if true sin is taking for granted the people you love and the time you have left? Not appreciating the people in your life and thanking them. Not thinking about how each second that passes, we can never get back.
So why do we not absolutely cherish these precious, fast fading moments? Why do we just assume that because we have what feels like forever left in our life, that some seconds can be spared. Those seconds turn to hours, days, weeks, months, and before you know it, years of your life has passed with you stuck on autopilot. Whole years stuck in an exhausting loop of wake up, work, eat, pass out, rinse and repeat. Years spent worrying more about work or drama than spending time with the people you love and taking a break. We can never get those seconds back so we need to cherish them as they come and not waste our life and end it with regrets.
So what if Heaven is truly just the relief that you lived your life to the fullest by cherishing every moment, every memory, every loved one? If so, then Heaven doesn't sound so bad.
