I would hope, as others have said, that I'll be reunited with my husband and other people that I've lost and would like to see you again. And that it would be, as someone else said, my perfect version of heaven.
However, there would have to be some element of a person not getting bored built into it because, eventually I would think if everything were peaceful and you got everything you wanted all the time, you could get bored. I certainly don't enjoy the life here where everything is suffering and conflict, but the opposite doesn't really seem that fun- at least not for an eternity- to me.
Has anyone ever seen the Twilight Zone episode called "A Nice Place to Visit"?
In the episode, this small-time gangster is robbing a store and he ends up getting shot and killed by the police. Then this British sounding man comes up to him all dressed in a white suit and says he's there to serve him. Eventually, he convinces the gangster that he's his guide and that the gangster is indeed dead. At first, the gangster assumes because of the kind of life he led that he's going to end up somewhere unpleasant. But his guide leads him to a fancy apartment and his name is on the door. Then he has clothes waiting for him that just happen to fit him in exactly the style of clothes he always wanted to wear. He's got beautiful women falling all over him, all the money he could ever want, all the food he ever wanted to eat, the car he always wanted to drive, etc. Everything is exactly the way he wants it and, at first, he's having a great time. Going out with all the girls, driving his fast car, and gambling. But eventually he gets frustrated because every time he goes to gamble, he never loses. Every time he pulls the arm on one of the slot machines, it pays off for him. Every time he tries to play roulette or blackjack, he always ends up winning. He gets frustrated because there's no challenge. He tries to explain this to the guide and the guide says he could try to arrange for him to lose every once in awhile. The gangster replies that it won't be the same because he'll know that it was arranged ahead of time. After a while, he becomes bored and disillusioned with the place and he tells his guide that he thinks maybe he was put in the wrong place. He says he doesn't think he belongs there maybe needs to go to the other place.
The guide says, "What other place?" And the gangster replies, "You know, hell". The guide looks at him and replies, "Who told you that this wasn't hell?". That's when he realizes that he is in hell, a private hell of his own making where he gets everything he ever wanted but there's no excitement, no action, and he's doomed to suffer boredom for all of eternity.
So, unless there was something built in to where you didn't get bored, I would think living in paradise might not be so great. But then again, if it was true paradise, I'm assuming you wouldn't get bored. So I don't know.
I would just like to be able to do all of the things with my husband that I didn't get to do with him in this life, like ride around in his old car and just do normal every day things together. But nothingness would be fine too. It's just harder for me to imagine nothingness than it is to imagine an afterlife.
