Chumley:

But what if you found that God has set things up so you can be extremely happy for all of eternity? Why would you want to miss out on such a thing?

Don't be dismayed because things haven't worked out for you while in here in the physical. This is how things work out at times. Just have the intent to grow in a positive way, and give yourself the time to do so.  When I visited heaven I understood that everything works out wonderfully. Don't do anything to postpone this realization.

Let us say a person believes the key to happiness is money. Should they become angry with a person who offers to give them a billion dollars? Of course not. So why get mad at God who has set things up so we can find all the happiness, peace and love we want in our own way, once we find the way that works for us?  Our own way, because who wants to be a computer program that has no choice?

Perhaps you've had more misfortune than others, and this makes you angry.  There are beings of light who understand that some of us have more difficulty to work through than others. When you finally figure things out you're liable to get a bigger pat on the back than people who didn't have it as hard.
*****************
You see, that's part of problem I have with the whole deal...
"A pat on the back?" Might as well be a "pat on the head." Like
you'd give a dog...
But I'm not a dog!
The only way I can see, short of peaceful oblivion... is the opportunity
to come back here (as many times as it would take) and re-do my
life until I got it RIGHT. Why do I want oblivion? Try on THIS vision of
HELL, and see how it fits...
An eternity of knowing you BLEW IT, and no way to set it right. You
have to EAT your failure. (And you have to live among SUCCESSFUL types, who occasionally find you a handy target to take cheap shots at.)
Sounds like "Hell" to me! (How 'bout you..?)
And why would oblivion be worse than this, or too much for me
to ask for?

B-man

P.S. I'm not going to give you (or anyone else) the details of what's
eating me. But suffice it to say...
It isn't really "happiness" I want. (What IS happiness, anyway?)
It is PRIDE I crave.
To live inside my skin, without the mad, itching desire to jump right out
of it and throw it as far from me as I can (which reincarnation,
or random infinite recurrences of physical consciousness, similar to what Nietzsche believed in (this "materialistic/naturalistic pseudo
reincarnation" is what I'd REALLY like to believe in, MORE on this later), would allow me to do..!
