True. Though, does that mean that they believe their lost love won't earn their way to Heaven to join them eventually? I think that patience is more romantic.
[ this is kind of just an idle thought like they are just talking to be talking. okay. anyway. ]
Well, it would certainly look better than acting on the offers.
That's true. I only meant that it feels almost as though it proves my point. I don't have anyone to save, or to search for. So a few of the apples are simply of no consequence to me.
In a way, they might present more of a temptation to those inclined to feel obligations to those they left behind.
In life you meet people by chance. By proximity, mostly, especially in worlds without the technological advancements necessary to bridge people across long distances. People care about those close to them, and should, but statistically, I find the odds of finding people you'll truly love slim.
But Heaven does have that technology, and more. As well as more people than any single world. There are infinitely more opportunities to meet people and connect with them. Infinitely more people to meet.
Heaven isn't endless bliss. There would be no purpose to continuing to exist if it was. But it's more free time. More time for your passions. More people to meet, more chances to find those you'll truly love. No more fear of death, no more endings you aren't prepared for. So long as it doesn't harm others you can do whatever you want to do. You can be whoever you want to be.

Having fewer regrets than others may make it easier to build your new future in the afterlife.

[it's not the lack of happiness that bothers her, but the loneliness does.]
I wish I knew if there was ever someone. It seems a sorry life, if not.

I don't think that it would be a sorry afterlife.

And maybe they don't need me, back home. But I did want to try there.

[that does all sound nice, but she would have no idea what to do with herself.]
I don't know who I am, or what I want. I don't know how to just exist like that.

It's something you could figure out in life. It's also something you could figure out in death. There is a world of possibility either way.
