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.

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

[sacredpath]

...Yes. That's true.

[a small huff of laughter.]

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

[holyspirits]

It's your decision, in the end. If you still want to try there, no one here will try to talk you out of it.

[ pauses like they want to talk her out of it, though. ]

[sacredpath]

...You sound like you want to talk me out of it.

[holyspirits]

I think that Heaven is the better choice.

But that's a personal opinio.

[sacredpath]

Why? Out of curiosity? Because it's safer here? The people are kinder?

[holyspirits]

Those reasons too.

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.

[sacredpath]

I don't know.

[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.

[holyspirits]

You don't know yet.

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.

[sacredpath]

...I'll keep it in mind.

[holyspirits]

You have time to think about it.
