What Is “Heaven”?

[Trailblazer]

This heaven sounds like hope to some people. And that's cool, whatever helps people get through their life, is a good thing.

Knowing that heaven will be a better place does not help me much, partly because it is almost impossible to really believe it.

Do you think God created this world a little crappy 'a storehouse of suffering' so we will appreciate heaven more? Otherwise, why did he create it in the first place?

No, I don't think that God created this world as 'a storehouse of suffering' so we will appreciate heaven more, although that might be what happens after we die and go to heaven.

I think that God created a world like this so we could learn what we need to learn here and thus be prepared to enter the spiritual world (heaven).
Suffering is inherent in a material world such as this and it exists so we can learn lessons, strengthen our character and grow spiritually.
