@deshipu not just that
After heaven, you can't handle going back.
And you need pain to feel empathy, you have to suffer to appreciate others' suffering.
Heaven would make us no longer human.
recursive 🏳️🌈recursive@hachyderm.ioMay 28, 2025, 7:06 PM@astraluma @deshipu there's a philosophical question there:
In order to not be suffering, do you need to have no memory of ever suffering in the past?- recursive 🏳️🌈recursive@hachyderm.ioMay 28, 2025, 7:10 PM
@astraluma @deshipu adjacent to this, I kind of think that the heaven that exists is the little moments where I can just not be aware of anything that would cause me emotional distress
But the broader thing is that I'm not sure how to really address this without thinking about the temporal component
