Define "Heaven".
It's a simple request,
just define it for me,
define paradise,
Utopia,
bliss.
Why do you hesitate?
It can't be that hard to fathom.
It's Heaven, it's simple,
it's clouds and angels,
it's painless and beautiful.
It's Heaven.
Doesn't that sound right?
No... I suppose it doesn't.
Heaven...
it's such a tricky thing to imagine.
I think I need pain,
I need sorrow,
I need ugliness,
I need it all to remain happy.
Confused?
Me too, but I can explain.
There is no pleasure without pain,
no happiness without sorrow,
no beauty without ugliness.
I need it.
The world needs it.
So define Heaven.
Define "perfection"
without "imperfection".
How can I picture it?
How can it be real?
Define "Hell".
Pain and torture,
agony, misery,
blood dripping, bones cracking.
Hell.
Wait... but that doesn't seem right to me.
I don't think I would mind eternal pain.
Wouldn't you get used to it?
Wouldn't it become such a normal thing?
You can only torture someone so far....
Hell is a black abyss.
That's how I see it.
A deep, dark void of nothing.
No feeling, no colour, no people around.
All you have are your thoughts.
Your mistakes repeated over and over,
over and over....
So how come I can't imagine Heaven?
Can't you imagine Heaven?
Is it different for everyone?
Do we all end up somewhere different?
I think my true Heaven is Earth.
I'd like to come back.
I like the fight,
the pain,
the wonder,
the imperfection.
I love it.
So define Heaven.
Perhaps the concept of Heaven is merely Earth.
Suppose we just keep coming back.
Suppose time is a loop.
I think I'd like to come back.
I like the feeling of air in my lungs.
I like the wonder surrounding me.
Ah, life...
my Heaven.
