What Heaven Means To Me

[sythyry]

The word "Heaven" is not a technical term of art; it means a variety of things. What does it mean to you?

I find that many different things could be a heaven - thus the sometimes-contradictory answers.

One thing I was unsure on was the sexplay question. I kind of wanted to put an answer in between "just like elsewhere" and "free and open" - I'd have thought it could be somewhat less inhibited, seeing as the people there might include less jealous types and that there would likely be less lasting consequences(especially if the residents aren't truly alive in some key sense, and cannot procreate).

Similarly, the toilets are only necessary for those living there who are alive. The dead might still "eat", but it's probably a "ghost" of food - all the essence and enjoyment, but no actual metabolic substance. So for the ghosts, toilets are unnecessary; for the others, they're convenient.

There is probably some food that has more effort into it than "whenever you want it, it's there", too. For some people, there really is pleasure in getting something after working for it. But there being plenty in the sense that nobody need go hungry would be a fine thing.
