I Have an Ideal Xue Feng Following the footprints of immortals,sages, oracles and saints, I have crossed and trekked numerous treacherous mountains and rivers. Roaming all through the wilderness of soul, I have been spreading the message of the Greatest Creator. The wishes of God and Buddha and the expectations of oracles and saints have converged to form my ideal, which is as clear and bright as the shining sun and can be food of thought for you to meditate over. Human beings have been trekking along a long path soaked with blood. Jesus and Sakyamuni have revealed to us that in the universe there are many higher spaces of life and have earnestly and tirelessly admonished us not to go astray from the great road of life. Numberless immortals, sages, oracles and saints have exerted their utmost effort for the happiness of mankind. Their souls are still shining brightly over us, warning us not to act against the law of nature and wishing us to live a happy life. However,blinded by the dense fog of “civilization”, mankind has been straying further and further away from the great road… I want to kindle a beacon of hope to light up the endless darkness, bringing mankind a ray of hope. I want to create an oasis out of the vast and isolated desert, offering an auspicious and harmonious habitat for life on earth. I want to build a land of spirit and soul out of the boundless ocean of flaunty material prosperity, leading to the land those people who yearn towards the Greatest Creator, love life and nature, and possess beautiful human nature and soul and making them eternally severed from the abyss of sufferings. I will shepherd them safely to the thousand-year world to enjoy the wonderful time of the millennium. The people favored by God and Buddha are still miserably shackled in spirit and soul. In this bustling world overrun with desire for material acquisition, people with a purer and better heart are more prone to spiritual and psychological tortures, and cannot afford even a moment of peace and quiet. Every place reeks of putrid smells. What meet the eyes are wickedness and evils that have gone unpunished. Man’s tremendous amount of legal articles and religious teachings are powerless to avert the depravity of morality and the prevalence of wickedness. The viciously misleading evil soul and the junk thought have taken up the throne of truth. Despotism has not only caused the loss of personal and spiritual freedom for the governed but also has caused the governing class to be trapped in the quagmire of desperation, without any hope to obtain the true freedom of life. I want to tell people that the plight of mankind does not lie in the material aspect but in the spiritual aspect. The wasteland of spirit and soul is the real source of human suffering. Seeking the homestead for spirit and soul is an urgency for mankind. The blind pursuit of material acquisition is only analogous to quenching one’s thirst with poisoned wine or stopping water from boiling by scooping it up and pouring it back. Thus such acts will cause the ruin of not only the earth but mankind itself. An era is a demoniac era if the dignity of a person is determined by the amount of money he has earned and the social position he has attained and if the value of man is not measured by hismoral character and good deeds. A society is an evil society if it allows its subjects to become upstart through speculation and plundering instead of getting rich with honest and diligent labor. A government is a despotic and satanic government if it spares no effort to force-out new thinking, attempting to lock people in an ignorant and barbarian and savage world. A nation will become void of wisdom and oriented toward insanity and destruction if it does not advocate dedication and love but blindly instigates its people to use violence. Man’s worry originates partly from ignorance and partly from selfishness. Because of ignorance, we have invited demons in but shut the door against God and Buddha. Because of selfishness, we have chosen wickedness but abandoned righteousness. A lot of good ideals and kind moralities are often snuffed out in the cradle. The desolation of soul is the optimum soil to breed junk thought and religious plague. Today people are engulfed in information. Television, networks, newspapers and magazines, books, and lectures are infusing mountains of information into us, far more than we can digest, thus causing the indigestion, malnutrition, and ill health. The pursuit of knowledge has become a morbid thirst. The more we attempt to swallow down unthinkingly, the less we understand. Various media have become the fertile soil to cultivate ignorance and manic and blind adherence. Having no beliefs, no principles, nowisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati have made up rancid articles under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality, and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief”, cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism… They have fabricated so muchcultural garbage and so many spiritual drugs that it is impossible to clean them all up. The roughly manufactured scum has become our daily food for thought, which has directly distorted our values, destroyed our human environment,and polluted our pure heart. Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati hangmen worship those rancid articles as classics under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality,and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief”,cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism… As for those works of wisdom, which shine resplendently with thought, they look down upon them as “heresies” and wielded their cultural butcher knife toward them without hesitation… the Chinese people, on the one hand you have been heaving sighs that China has become a land deserted by the Greatest Creator, but have you on the other hand acquired the broadness of mind to include great wisdom? Can you recognize it when great wisdom really “descends from heaven”? I have an ideal that the Greatest Creator may enter China and the human world, that Christianity and Buddhism may regain their prevalence here, and that humanity may be restored on the beautiful land. When conspiracy and tricks prevail over truth, justice is taunted, enthusiasm meets with contempt, reverence for the Greatest Creator is regarded as ridiculous, oppression and bully are viewedas inviolable power, the hoodwinked masses are meanwhile branded as ignorant,freedom is slandered, life is trampled, right and wrong are reversed, black and white are confused, and good and evil people mix together, then in such situations we have no choice but to search the source of life. Only in this way can we pierce through the indistinct murk and see the light. Only in this way can we steady the steer in the turbid and turbulent waves and ultimately reach the ocean of life. In this unusual time of superficial prosperity, when actually crises are lurking everywhere, we are not yet in the position to sing praises of the virtue or merits. At a time when the journey is rough and treacherous, flattery and conservativeness cannot salvage us. Now it is not yet the time when “the bank of injustice” has gone bankrupt completely. Anynon-action and dawdling will only speed up the approach of “doomsday”. We will only eventually lose our beautiful homestead and splendid future if we are only capable of destruction and are incapable of construction, if we don’t know how to repay other people’s favors and are only bent on vengeance, and if we only want to acquire from others and do not know how to dedicate to others. For many centuries, man’s blind behaviors have dug out an abyss, which can engulf us at any moment and thus should be filled up. The sooner it is leveled up, the better it would be. Reverence for the Greatest Creator and adherence to his road is our only hope, because only in front of the Greatest Creator can we have equal human dignity; because we should worship the Greatest Creator so that our mind can possess soul, our knowledge be transformed into wisdom. And only in this way can we understand the meaning of life and embarkon the great road of life. You may lock yourself up in the ivory tower, lose yourself in the piles of broken papers, and engross yourself in the so-called academic research, thus placing yourself outside the social issues. In so doing, you seem to have entered a serene haven. However, can you expect any egg to remain intact if the nest is overturned? Poke your head inside a cave,leaving your hindquarter exposed and fancying that what is not seen does not exist. Can you derive from your research any great achievements that may do any good to humankind? The unrealistic teaching or “truth”that blindly preaches pursuit of happiness of future life is absurd and wicked.A person always wearing a smile is relentless at heart; a person always withtears is cruel at heart. Children are suffering starvation and cannot afford education; the poverty-stricken have no money to treat their diseases. However, we are manufacturing various kinds of luxury products, and building one after another lifeless skyscrapers. Isn’t this a mockery and blasphemy against LIFE? If our neighbors have no freedom, we ourselves cannot obtain complete freedom. If our brothers are suffering starvation, we cannot swallow the dainty food in our mouths. If people in the remote areas are crying, we will not be able to enjoy quietly the comfort and luxury of big cities. I have an ideal. I will lead those who truly yearn towards the Greatest Creator to Lifechanyuan, and transform the jarring hullabaloo into a fraternal movement, and play a convivial symphony of LIFE. I firmly believe that mankind can certainly walk out of the dark canyon and the wasteland of spirit, and enter an unprecedentedly beautiful field. I firmly believe that soul will prevail over flesh and that people will eventually obtain the freedom of body and mind and the serenity of LIFE. This is not a golden fantasy for the remote future. The majestic tides are surging with mighty momentum. Among their broad bosoms are contained colorful gems that can decorate man’s life and make it more noble and beautiful. When the unexpected supernatural incident comes,the mysterious power shall strike people’s heartstrings, the vast fields will take on the splendid coating, the polluted rivers will become clear and pure again, the turbid sky will be changed into expanses of colorful clouds, and the free rhythm will reverberate in each inch of the land. Eternal virtue remains with Jesus Christ! Supreme wisdom is ascribed to Sakyamuni! Eternal glory belongs to the Greatest Creator! ======================================================================================== Lifechanyuan: www.lifechanyuan.org New Oasis for Life: newoasisforlife.org Lifechanyuan International Family: www.smcyinternationalfamily.org Attachments:

There is no Jealousy in the Paradise
Deiform celestial (Translated by conglong and edited by Kaer)
Jealousy is a symbol of a flawed nonmaterial structure of LIFE; it is an illness of one’s soul. It is also the ugly side of human nature. Jealousy does not only hurt oneself, it also hurts one’s family, a group and society. Having an inexplicable feeling of hatred because others have better capability, appearance, fame, position, house, wealth, family and living environment and etc. is called jealousy.
Jealousy has an enormous destructive power; jealousy is a kind of poison which will destroy one’s immune system, makes one exhausted; it will break the harmony of small family and group and cause pain. It will pollute the entire society and make it develop towards ignorance and violence.
Jealousy is a dark emotion, and it is afraid of be exposed. When jealousy is bursting from reason, it will appear as hatred, fight, blasphemy, vandalism, hysteria, and makes the harmonious and auspicious atmosphere freeze in a moment.
Jealousy is a sharp and underhanded knife; its essence is very vicious and cruel. It will look for every opportunity to put the other person to death.
Jealousy is a quality of demon:
Some examples of jealousy are:
You are riding a bicycle, but feel upset and unhappy when seeing those who are driving cars; it is a sign of jealousy.
See a woman dress smart and beautiful, you gave her a contemptuous look; it is a sign of jealousy.
Your husband or wife is with someone else, your face looks gloomy; it is a sign of jealousy.
See others get promotion, move to a house, buy a new car or become rich, you say “so what?”, it is a sign of jealousy.
Your parents bought new clothes and toys for your brothers and sisters, or left them with more legacy; you start to look for excuses to be difficult. it is a sign of jealousy.
The person you love cares others, you don’t feel good; it is a sign of jealousy. You are resisting new ideas, new theories, new methods and new values. It is a sign of jealousy.
Someone can write better and more articles than you, then you behave critical and try to find his weakness; it is a sign of jealousy.
Someone always receive others’ attention, you then feel lonely; it is a sign of jealousy.
Someone was greeted by the president of your country, or got a reward. You say “Why show off,
it is just a meeting with the president” and “A small reward is nothing”. It is a sign of jealousy.
Jealousy is the sign of narrow-mindedness and lack of self-confidence; it is the symbol of one is walking towards the evil.
There is no jealousy in heaven; anyone who wants to live in the heaven must first remove the emotion of jealousy. Anyone who has even a tiny bit jealousy is for sure not eligible to live in the heaven.
To remove jealousy, we need to cultivate ourselves. Jealousy is usually generated in a group living environment, so we need do the cultivation in a collective life, if we just do the cultivation by closing ourselves for the others, we will never be able to eliminate jealousy.
We must find a relatively perfect group; live in the group to gradually eliminate our jealousy.

Jealousy is always a stimulus or a motive to step aside from the lowest position to the highest one. Jealousy is always a principle that allows you to upholster your weapon and scream on the enemy calling him to fight. Jealousy is always a marvelous imagination that helps you to create some wonderful drawings on a fresh clear desk. Jealousy is always a demon inside you that is your closest friend, and he will be saving you from your passive condition every time. Jealousy is always a justice to yourself, a truly justice court and a honest society with many great persons. Jealousy is always a love partner. It makes love with you when you feel lonely, and it makes you feel pain when you need it. Jealousy is always a large bomb that will blow up if you set it up correctly, right before your enemies dinner. Jealousy is always a girl with sharp teeth. She bites your neck and suck your blood. Bad blood that you've wanted to get rid off. Jealousy is always a smile. The tricky smile that helps you not to become honest enough, and prevent your moves from naive. Jealousy is always a bottle with a gas - an angry genie your wishes granted and your dreams come true. Jealousy is always a knife in a thief hands. A careful knife cutting throats too accurately to be useful. Jealousy is always a miraculous ivy that blossoms like wonderful heavenly garden and smells like tender honey, and where you want to stay not only for a time being, but for aeons, feeling yourself comfortable and relax, wanting to hug those flowers in your hands tightly, and...

The Best Investment for Life
Xuefeng (Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)
Life is just a short trip of LIFE in the mortal world. Since different travel routes lead to different experiences, we each arrive at different destinations. At this point, it is not "All roads lead to Rome", but it is branching out in different directions where any mistake can result in long-lasting regret.
How many regrets and how much remorse, bitterness, and anguish result from taking the wrong routes, especially as we reach our twilight days? The kinds of sadness, desolation, frustration, and remorse interweave into the pathos of the Life song as all the tears dry, and only the last breaths remain. There is no way to go back and start again. To whom shall we complain? To whom shall we sigh? We can do nothing but regret.
Tragedy can be avoided. It depends on how we choose our route of Life. In terms of the modern commodity-economic concept, it is how to best invest in your Life. The Greatest Creator has given each of us enough capital, such as time, energy, youth, vitality, freedom of consciousness, health, and so on, so how and where should we invest it?
Nature is the same, but people vary. Everyone has his or her own ideal and they cannot all resonate in the same key. LIFE has its own levels. Not all LIFE can be expected to become people. Some LIFE will have to take the roles of animals, including livestock and birds. In the travel routes of Life, some will have to choose deserts, gully hills, the wilderness, jungles, or steep cliffs. The best Life route is only to be understood and chosen by a small number of people. Those who see clearly will see more clearly, but those who do not, will be even more confused.
In the terms of Lifechanyuan values, the best travel route is the one to trek and climb to the highest realms of Life and LIFE. Our entire daily lives are to make Life happy, joyous, free, and blessed, and to prepare to arrive at our destination near the thousand-year world, the ten-thousand year world, and the Elysium Celestial Island Continent.
When we know where to go and how to reach our goal, our Lives becomes clear, as do our minds. The rest is the question of how to direct our Life investment. When we invest our time, energy, youth, and other capital into any project that makes it impossible for us to be happy, joyous, free, and blessed, and impossible for us to attain our ultimate aspiration towards heaven, then we must not invest more capital into it.
Everything is made clear. The best investment of Life is to invest our capital into something that can make our Lives happy, joyous, free, and blessed, and to steer our Life destinations toward the thousand-year world, the ten-thousand year world, and the Elysium Celestial Island Continent of heaven. Apart from this, all other investments are filled with confusion, regret, loneliness, boredom, bitterness, and pain, lose all our capital, and offer no return in the end. Even more, our investment mistakes may commit boundless sins which can not be redeemed even after several reincarnations.
Let us analyse which of several Life investment projects is the best.
We will examine life investments for these eight popular purposes:
The Family
Religion
The State
National Independence
A Political Party
Accumulation of Wealth
An Romantic Endeavor
Running a Business
Family is the Life investment project for most people and many people dedicate their lives to their families. From morning till night, whether for education, work, doing business, or running a company, all they do is for their families. Embezzlement and theft, overt and covert strife, scrambling and squeezing, and other offences are ultimately committed for their families. People have been trying everything for thousands of years to pursue family happiness and success, and writers have been praising and singing songs for families, yet unfortunately, despite all the secular forces that have been proclaiming the family’s benefits and attempting to maintain the family’s existence, they always bring more pain than pleasure. Families are main sources of personal and social pain, so if we invest all our capital into a family project, we will never be able to find happy, joyous, free, and blessed Lives, and our Life destinations will have no chance of reaching heaven.
Note: I am not arguing with those who disagree with this point. If you think investing your life into your family is the most correct, valuable, and meaningful thing for you to do, then so be it. Everyone has their own trajectory of Life and LIFE. No one should force their will upon anyone else and you are the only one who knows if you are wearing the right shoes. Why would I invest my Life capital in trying to alter your outlook on Life? I would not! Therefore, you must make the investment that you feel best suits your needs!
With the awakening human consciousness, more and more people are realizing the malicious character of family Life and are gradually but purposefully beginning to draw away from it. The puzzle is that if we move away from the family, then where do we go?
The soul must have a resting place, therefore many people invest Life capital into religions that they believe offer the most truths and join into those religious communities. The two questions now become whether the religion you believe in can provide you with a happy, joyous, free, and blessed Life, and whether it can ultimately get you to the ideal realm? Do not lie blindly and deceive yourself, but seek truth from the facts. I do not want to hear your answers, just ask the question and answer it silently. I am almost certain that you are perplexed, because any religions or faith groups with religious natures have problems which often include theological contradictions. All religious followers feel joyous and blessed for their first few years, but as their thinking grows deeper with the passing of time, they become increasingly confused, unable to find a way out, and develop unresolved, internal contradictions. Unless you become a religious gambler or a religious fanatic with a confused mind and soul, or you want to achieve your non-religious purposes through the religious establishment, then if you face reality and seek the truth from the facts, you cannot stay in any religion for very long. Therefore, it is my opinion that if we invest all of our Life capital into religious beliefs and activities, it would not the best investment of Life. But of course, if you believe that religion is the best investment of Life, so be it. No matter what play it is, someone has to perform in it.
Some people invest their Life capital into the project of safeguarding the state. Is it worthwhile? That depends. To people who benefit from the existence of the state, yes, but for people who suffer from the existence of the state, no. The existence of the state is a good thing for the authority, but for the majority of the people, it causes suffering. If there were only one state lead by one government in the world, there would be many advantages to the common people. What I mean to say is that putting our Life capital into the project of maintaining the state is not the best investment of Life. But of course, if you trust that this is the best investment of Life, then invest as much as you wish, but as time has proven, you cannot force me to stand up for your interests and values.
Similarly, investing your Life capital to a national independence project is not your best investment either. The formation of the European Union was a sign of civilization’s progress, but the collapse of the Soviet Union was a sign of its retrogression. Recently, Georgia and Russia have fought and killed each other’s people. National independence is the root of suffering. Similarly, the hardships of the people’s suffering in Zimbabwe was also caused by national independence. In fact, patriotism and national pride are both narrow and complex. Investing Life’s capital into these narrow, divisive projects is certainly not the best investment.
Is the best investment of Life to invest Life’s capital into organizing political parties against the government or strife against other political parties? Some people say, "Politics is dirty". It is as if to say that politics is to do the most shameful things for the most honorable reasons; that noble ends justify ignoble means. I am a political layman, but I feel that investing Life’s capital into projects involving politics does not seem to be the best investment of Life.
Many people invest Life’s capital into projects that bring them money. Honestly speaking, money is a good thing. It can indeed bring happiness, joy, freedom, and blessings. A Life without money is hard to live. Here is the question: money can twist one’s soul, and once one is possessed by money, they will use any and all means to acquire more, “By hook or by crook”. His or her sole will become increasingly ugly and that is why Jesus Christ said that “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God”. Just look around: the more money that people accumulate, the greedier they become. Their occasional "generous” activities of sharing a feather is either to gain fame to consolidate their wealth or to increase their wealth in other ways. Therefore, investing your Life’s capital into projects generating wealth is definitely not the best investment.
How about investing your Life’s capital into a romantic endeavor? Here, I would argue that people are untrustworthy and that the only reliable things in Life are beliefs, values, and your own inner strengths, so if we invest our Life’s capital into a certain person and want to obtain happiness, joy, freedom, and blessing, and achieve the goal of entering heaven by relying on this person, it would be a risky investment, a kind of blind luck mentality, and thus certainly not the best investment.
How about investing all of Life’s capital into projects such as starting a business, running a company, or doing research? Such projects can bring you fame and wealth and the admiration of many people or even the whole world? Good! Nice investment! But all these are means to obtain the best Life, not the purposes of Life. If you designate means as purposes, then you are putting the cart before the horse. The purposes of Life are to get happiness, joy, freedom, and blessing, to upgrade your LIFE quality and eventually enter heaven. If you consume all your Life on means and totally ignore the purposes, then you will regret it as you face the end of your LIFE. Therefore, the investment in such projects are not the best investments of Life either.
Well, which investment project is the best Life investment? As long as you clear away the impurities, a pool of water will sparkle naturally, be clear and clean, and reflect the sun, the moon and stars, and the mountains with vegetation. As you eliminate each faulty Life investment project, one by one, the best one will become clear at a glance.

Family allows us being unaware of unhappiness of many things, because family, as long as it's the natural sphere of our existence, warms our souls. All pain and sorrows are washes away since our making a step to build our own family.
Our duty to make a family and keep it in safety and good will. All we need and all we want is a family. Anyone who's against family must be destroyed for the sake of the future of humanity.

ivy Yes, it's true, but a real spiritual warrior makes anything to get a little smile from the princess. How a warrior would live without jealousy if this ability keeps a feeling of alert in his heart? No, he cannot live without jealousy if he still owns anything. Here he is trying to own love and posess one's heart. ----------- If there are still poisonous weeds like jealousy, complaining, anger, possession, control, hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, pride, laziness, comparison, precaution, meanness,cruelty, extravagance, waste, or resentment growing in your soul garden, then you are very far from heaven.

All pain and sorrows are washes away since our making a step to build our own family. Our duty to make a family and keep it in safety and good will. All we need and all we want is a family. Anyone who's against family must be destroyed for the sake of the future of humanity. You keep your opinion, i keep mine. No marriage doesn't mean no love. In the Thousand-year world, people love each other but there is no marriage. ------------ People all over the world want to manage their marriage well. They all want to live together in harmony and mutual respect. They all want to help each other and live in harmony with each other. They all want to follow their love till old. But, how many people can manage their marriage well in history in the world? Can the Emperor and the President manage it well? Can billionaires manage it well? Can powerful officials and dignitaries manage it well? Can literati experts all kinds of stars manage it well? Can the general public manage it well? The answer is that no one can manage family life well. Even saints can't manage their marriage well. What is the ideal marriage life? A happy marriage life is that they never argue and quarrel, never say sad words to each other, never doubt each other, never save private money, never have relations with the opposite sex except for their husbands or wives, and treat the affairs of their parents, grandmothers, uncles, relatives, friends, neighbours and children the same, with the same courtesy, and the same opinion. Husbands respect and love their wives. They never fight in the cold war, let alone commit violence. Wives never threaten husbands with suicide. Husbands never scold, beat their wives. When husband is unhappy, wife will care for him, wives are unhappy, husbands will comfort wives. They don't beg to be born on the same day in the same year but hope to die on the same day in the same month in the same year. which husband in the world can do this? Which wife can do this?

Isn't the warriors hearts in dreams of her? All his life he dedicated to her, and the point of his life is her, so obviously that the heaven for the warrior = the heaven with her. To be in Eden without her equals soul scratching and pain, but to live with her is his destination. That's why he would try to do anything to be with her, not just get into heaven.

I'm looking forward to cooperate our meanings, and in general - meanings of all people. I know it sounds not too realistic, but I do hope that one day it will be possible. A marriage isn't an optional. A man and a woman - Yin and Yang - is the fundamental symbol of the Universe, and we have no other choice to follow this path - that Universal path. ...Oh, Ivy... I think here, in this thought, you follow for the many people who think so, but I am sure that it's not the right method to think. Look, our ancestors or even not our own ancestors, but people in past had been lived not always happy in their marriage, but at the same time they weren't so unhappy as we considered. They came through life and all that they brought to this world is us. We're the ones of their fears and loves, their struggle and their coward, their hard work and their rests, their smiles and their tears... If there were no our ancestors there definitely would be no us. Happiness is just a way of thinking. One man sees happiness like this, and the other one is like that. Views aren't always coincidence at some point. But why should we follow just the same pattern, we'd better to find the one meaning of life - is happiness to bring life to this world. If any single soul, any single life of someone is so important why don't we procreate them? It's not always to born children, we can plant trees and flowers, we can feed birds and animals, we can builds roads and house. But love - is something that lock our hearts together. Without love all those processes are worthless. There's no ideal marriage life neither now, nor in the past. Our lives are without any ideals; love bites, but our duty to fight with our own fears. Even an ideal family has no insurances of their safety, that's why we shouldn't afraid of hard days of ours. Ground is salt, but fruits are tasty. No, Ivy, I hope you will apologize my lifeview position, but I can't agree here with you. Suffering is a part of our life. If we would have had no picture of suffering we would have been unaware of what evil was. We should be known with all the sides of our life. Yes, many husbands are far from ideal, but why should they have kept an ideal life? Life is consistent with both good and bad sides. I would've wanted to see my wife an ideal in my eyes, not in 'general eyes', or 'public eyes', or 'the Web eyes'. If I would love a woman, then I wouldn't love her slim body only, or her only, or her long beautiful hair only, or her cute feet only; True love is to love her all from her toes to her head, but especially her soul, her as a person, not her as just muscles and tangles. One girl has a strong will, while the other one hasn't, but we're always looking forward to fill the gaps, and to build a family as a strong fortress. We've got the answer now - they are our parents.

I'm looking forward to cooperate our meanings, and in general - meanings of all people. I know it sounds not too realistic, but I do hope that one day it will be possible. A marriage isn't an optional. A man and a woman - Yin and Yang - is the fundamental symbol of the Universe, and we have no other choice to follow this path - that Universal path. ...Oh, Ivy... I think here, in this thought, you follow for the many people who think so, but I am sure that it's not the right method to think. Look, our ancestors or even not our own ancestors, but people in past had been lived not always happy in their marriage, but at the same time they weren't so unhappy as we considered. They came through life and all that they brought to this world is us. We're the ones of their fears and loves, their struggle and their coward, their hard work and their rests, their smiles and their tears... If there were no our ancestors there definitely would be no us. Happiness is just a way of thinking. One man sees happiness like this, and the other one is like that. Views aren't always coincidence at some point. But why should we follow just the same pattern, we'd better to find the one meaning of life - is happiness to bring life to this world. If any single soul, any single life of someone is so important why don't we procreate them? It's not always to born children, we can plant trees and flowers, we can feed birds and animals, we can builds roads and house. But love - is something that lock our hearts together. Without love all those processes are worthless. There's no ideal marriage life neither now, nor in the past. Our lives are without any ideals; love bites, but our duty to fight with our own fears. Even an ideal family has no insurances of their safety, that's why we shouldn't afraid of hard days of ours. Ground is salt, but fruits are tasty. No, Ivy, I hope you will apologize my lifeview position, but I can't agree here with you. Suffering is a part of our life. If we would have had no picture of suffering we would have been unaware of what evil was. We should be known with all the sides of our life. Yes, many husbands are far from ideal, but why should they have kept an ideal life? Life is consistent with both good and bad sides. I would've wanted to see my wife an ideal in my eyes, not in 'general eyes', or 'public eyes', or 'the Web eyes'. If I would love a woman, then I wouldn't love her slim body only, or her only, or her long beautiful hair only, or her cute feet only; True love is to love her all from her toes to her head, but especially her soul, her as a person, not her as just muscles and tangles. One girl has a strong will, while the other one hasn't, but we're always looking forward to fill the gaps, and to build a family as a strong fortress. We've got the answer now - they are our parents. If you think sorrow and pain is necessary for life, then how much is enough. How long will you experience it? If it is necessary, why people wish each other be happy and have good luck instead of experiencing more hardships and pain? For me, i like the life in Thousand-year World. Before i know the Thousand-year World, i think marriage is the only way of life. ----------------------- Thousand Year World Xuefeng 1) The Location, Size and process of Entering the Thousand Year World Starting from the Earth, it takes us about 16 minutes’ time (the Negative Universe Speed, about 960 light years) to reach the Thousand Year World. Its size is about 10 times that of the Earth. At the moment when the flesh body dies and human consciousness disappears, another consciousness is born. Suddenly you will have the feeling of weightlessness, or floating. In fact, you are now in the Space Tunnel where you don't have fear. Instead, you have the pleasant, easy and wonderful feelings. You see no object, jus the beams of color lines running backward. When you are about to reach the Thousand Year World, you can dimly see there is a colorful bridge in the distance. At the moment when you see the colorful bridge, you will lose your consciousness again and fall into the “sleep”. When you regain your consciousness, you will first hear attractive celestial music. You open your eyes and find yourself lying in the arms of fairy with the kindly people cheering around you. They are celebrating your birth which means you are in the Thousand Year World. 2) The Geography in the Thousand Year World There are 5 continuous ridges in the Thousand Year World with their height above 10,000 meters. There are more than 8,800 independent mounts with their height between 3,000 and 6,000 meters. There are 10 large rivers flowing into the vast and flat lake which is greatly fertile. In this vast and flat lake, there are almost 100,000 islands. There are no deserts, Gobi deserts, or seas. Everywhere you can see the mountain streams, falls and lakes. a) Climate and Plants The light in the Thousand Year World comes from the distant planets. There is no Sun, no day and night difference, or no shadow. The temperature is almost stable. The sky is blue dotted with clouds, which change colors when floating and produce rich imaginations. There is no rainfall, snowfall, thunder or lightning. There is often the cloud and mist with mild temperature. There are numerous types of plants, including the straight “pine trees” standing several hundred meters and the yellowwood with the tree crown covering a football court. The trees are everywhere on the mountains, islands, plains and canyons. They are not dense but green all the year. The flowers are blossoming all the time. A certain kind of flower can keep changing its color and give out different fragrance. The plants in the Thousand Year World grow very slowly. It takes a leaf 3 years (Earth time) to grow up into its normal size. It takes a pear 10 years to be mature. The life longevity of all animals and plants are 10 times of that of the animals and plants on the Earth. The average human life longevity is 100 years on the Earth (the average figure considering the future). However, the people in the Thousand Year World will live 1,000 years in average. That's why it is called the Thousand Year World. b) Animals and Insects There are hundreds of thousands of types of lands, air, aquatic and ground insects in the Thousand Year World. But there is no meat-eating animal or reptile there. So you can never see the lions, wolves or foxes. Nor can you see the snakes or the lizards. The grass-eating animals have poor fertility. Of the insects, there are no fly, mosquito, bug, flea, or centipede. The food chain is different from that on the Earth. The most brutal is the bird the eats the worms. 3) Human Society Structure and Life The people in the Thousand Year World mainly include: 1. The local people; 2. The law violators from the Ten Thousand-year World; and 3. The Earth people who have boasted perfect human nature after self-refinery and self-improvement. The Thousand Year World has no class society, no wealth gap, no concept of nations, no competition, no conflict, no war, no theft or robbery. However, there is a management class there. There is no modern industry, agriculture or livestock. There is no city or rural area. But there are numerous games here. The only work is to build the roads, boats and houses, raise the silkworms, weave the cloth and make the clothing. Because there is no rainfall, snowfall, cold weather, hot weather, day or night, the house structure is different from that on the Earth. The people saw the wood with the rope made of a plant fiber. The wood of the houses is soft and easy to process. The roof is made by the large leaves of a solid plant. The wall is made of the dense red salix. The yard in front of the house is made by the unique flowers, grass and stones of all forms. The clothing is woven with very thin dyed silk. People wear this kind of light woven clothing, showing the celestial nature. The people living in the Thousand Year World don't eat meat. Their main food is the fruit, melon and half-mature cereal. Their drinks are made of the tea-like leaves soaked in the water together with honey. There are all-year-round fruits and melons here. Because the total population is less than 200 million, 90% of the fruits and melons are eaten by the animals, birds and insects. The people in the Thousand Year World do not get married. So there is no clan or family here. They live in a society similar to the maternal society in some nations on the Earth. People love each other quite randomly. They don't have frequent sex life as the Earth people do. People only have 3 or 4 heat periods in a year. The women have low fertility and only have 1 or 2 kids in their life. Few women will have 3 kids. The labor of the men is mainly to build roads, houses and boats while the women mainly look after the kids, raise the silkworms and weave the silk and cloth. 4). Ideology and Values Because they have the different objective existence from that on the Earth, the people have different perceptions, feeling, thinking and other psychological activities from those on the Earth. They don't have class, oppression, exploitation, wealth gap, political factions, religions, or struggling. The mentality of the people is in constant peace. There is no such thing as the morals on the Earth, no sense of factional conflicts or getting the upper hand. Everything is natural and instinctive. There is no jealousy. There is no need to run a plant, shop, restaurant, or hotel. The greatest fun of the people is to attend the collective work followed by games and tourism. The supreme law is to avoid private ownership or waste. For instance, if you love a woman and want to take her, hinder her freedom and prevent her from having affairs with other men, you are violating the law. If you eat half of a pear and throw away the left half, you are wasting and violating the law. The biggest punishment for the violation is to prevent you from the collective work. The final retribution is that you will be downgraded to the Mortal World after you live and die 1,000 years later. You will begin your sufferings in the new cycle of life as an Earth person. 5) Others There is no congenital disease, infectious disease, or the disease caused by the food or labor. There is no psycho disease caused by the tight human relationship or supply shortage. The people only die from the old age, not for any other reasons. There is no air crash, no traffic accident, no snake biting, shark attacking, no fighting, and no falling down the cliff. They reach their adolescent period when they are 100 years old. The youth lasts from 100 and ends at over 700. The self-refinery period lasts between 700 years till death. It is also the period when they begin to participate in the management of the Thousand Year World. People in the Thousand Year World know about the earth and its people. 6) Conclusion The Thousand Year World is one with truth, goodness and beauty. It is a world of love, peace, happiness and the upgraded human nature. Undoubtedly, anyone with perfect human nature can go there because there is no quota.

Yes, it's hard to draw a line where suffering starts and where ends, but we've been feeling it through times, and our ancestors felt the same. I don't think it's necessary to set a limit - because in this time (setting a limit) we will be afraid of not crossing the border, and our horror will be started again, 'cause now some of us are afraid of crossing the border of pain. I'm not afraid of marriage, because I know that each new day might bring me troubles and washed away my efforts to gain or reach something, but I try nevertheless. Even if there would be a risk to be killed I would have tried to save my girlfriend from tortures by crimes or gangs if she'd trapped into their lair. Sometimes we have not so much struggle and strength to do something, but an action itself is an action already. Just do it and we can handle our troubles. TTYW (or The Thousands of Year World) which you've posted is interesting in its dream plot, but it seems to be an utopia, the place that doesn't exist. Anyway, I'd prefer a world with suffering and pain, but with a meaning of life that can be reached by working on it, than miraculous bubble plastic heavens.

Are people living in hell driven there or voluntarily?

A Glance at the Thousand-year World
Xuefeng (Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)
Mount Butterfly in the Lotus Mountains is breezy and shrouded in mist with wind that soughs through the pines. Flowers spread across the mountainside and vie with each other for glamor. Down to the foot of the mountain, orchards and fields grow aromatic fruits where a clear stream meanders through Cuckoo Valley, passed Grace River, and finally joins Ripple Lake.
Thirty-nine celestials - twenty-two females, fifteen males, and two children - reside under Mount Butterfly. Not far away, Sakura Island is inhabited by another group of celestials. Crossing over Fragrant Hill and walking along Sesame Slope for about thirty miles, Lush Highland will be found, home to more than two-hundred celestials. Approximately three-hundred celestials in total live in these three places within two-hundred miles of each other.
Today, after Jade woke up, she dressed in a light blue skirt made of transparent silk and walked out of her house. High in the azure, birds soared over the clouds and silver waterfalls fell from the green of Mount Butterfly in a symphony of nature. In the forecourt, flowers were in bloom, the fullest of which were peach blossoms; their pink petals were arranged in layers, eighteen beige stamens stretched out from the center where bees searched for nectar.
Along the stone path and through several rockeries, Jade came to the mulberry garden while holding a willow basket. She was surrounded immediately by Ehuang and Lotus. “You must have enjoyed a good sleep last night. Was your lover good?” The two joked and chuckled. Jade tried to catch Ehuang in mock irritation but the two ran away, so she chased after them. The three fairies chased one another while laughing in the garden until Jade caught Lotus and gently pinched on her peachy cheeks. They pinched each others’ bodies in fun. Ehuang kissed Jade’s cheek in chaos and asked naughtily, “Is this how your lover kissed you?” The kissed one held Ehuang in her arms and answered with more kisses on her red lips, “That’s it.”
Having played enough, they began plucking mulberry leaves and returned when the basket was full. Jade was growing silkworms in three bamboo baskets of three square meters each, with each accommodating about a thousand silkworms; she distributed mulberry leaves evenly into them. When silkworms climbed up onto the leaves, she would shake the baskets gently, silkworm excrement would leak through the basket bottom, and she would sweep it into a fine wicker dustpan and bury it at the roots of the flowers.
Jade was about to rest after feeding her silkworms when she heard someone trotting over. It was the lovely little six-year-old, Loong. He had inherited fine features from his mother, Ray. He gasped, “Aunt, Mom said the melons are ripe; come and have a taste.” Jade replied, “I’ll go there, shall we go together?”, and took Loong’s tiny hand. They left the courtyard.
As they stepped across a bridge over a stream, Loong asked, “Aunt, grasses are green by the river beneath the bridge, flowers are blossoming in spring, all beings are as sentient as my beauty, though the world is created in holographic order. What does ‘sentience’ mean?” Jade said, “it means that the river, flowers, stars, breeze, melons, birds, and everything else can feel, like your Mom and me. Who taught you the lines?” “Uncle Moc. He and Uncle Bena teach me a lot. Do you want me to recite some?” Loong began reciting verses immediately.
Boundless and infinite,
Without distance or space;
Only the holographic order.
An inspiration seized by heart,
The world is so clear to be understood
Walking and chatting, Jade and Loong came to a forest of lush bamboos and fresh shoots. The rustling of bamboos and songs of yellow warblers echoed deeply. It seemed that the forest was little known to the outside world and only the sound of nature could be heard. Out of Bamboo Forest, a vast plain extended before their eyes where distant hills dissolved into mist. The breeze was gentle and the sun was warm. On Verdant Plain, spotted deer strolled and swans fluttered. Heading toward the direction of flute music and dancing where the melon fields laid, Jade paced up with Loong.
They had nearly arrived when Ray shouted, “Jade, hurry up! Today is the Melon Festival, let’s celebrate it.” Ray had actually gathered everyone. In addition to thirty-nine fairies from Mount Butterfly, they had six guests from Sakura Island, and Meda and Kin from Lush Highland. In the field, Ling, Sang, Barr, Moy, Chiron, and Hye were picking melons. They were yellow and green in color, round and plump in shape, and very inviting. While Meda from Lush Highland was dancing and guests were all drawn to her tantalizing moves with her well-curved shape and the flutter of her orange dress, Kin was singing aloud to Meda’s dance, “Ripe fruits and melons await their harvest, mulberry leaves await for picking, and Meda in the melon field waits for love.”
============
The truth is that Meda was in estrus and she glowed with youth. Every natural move of her dance was sensual and captivating. Her thick dark hair, touching eyes, and pink face were perfectly appealing. After the music, everyone ate the sweet and crispy melons.
Then Ray announced:
“Today is special. Everyone, stop building bridges, paving roads, collecting honey, trimming orchards, and making clothes. These melons have been grown for three years since I planted the seeds from Peach Village of Birdsong Mountain; enjoy them. The melons will induce your saliva and refresh you and their pleasant impression can last for ten days. In addition, Meda from Lush Highland is looking for her “LOVE”. Gentlemen, show your best.”
Ray’s words drew great applause. Girls circled and started the mulberry leaf-picking dance while boys performed the bridge dance from within their circle. Kin was at the center of the circle and he lifted Meda up to sit on his shoulders. The beautiful seeker of love allowed her soft dress to cover Kin’s head and Kin spun around, holding her calves so that she could choose a lover from the crowd. Boys came to court Meda assiduously and implied their strength and tricks by dancing. Standing by the scene, three celestials accompanied the dancers with flutes; Pine, River, and Cloud. They were about eight hundred years old and the dancing continued until their music ceased.
The next game was composing verses; whoever's verses expressed Meda’s feelings best would be the one that she would have.
Meda started the game with her verses:
Waves run high in the vast lake
Twin peaks rise above the earth
Seeds sprout in a dense forest
but a duet still lacks the other instrument.
Sang from Mount Butterfly composed:
Sang River flows silently all year long
Snow melts on the high hill
Swans visit the ravine
I play music to build the rainbow bridge.
Rice from Sakura Island sang:
Rosy clouds appear over the hill
Where an exotic flower is up high
Clouds soar with strong wind in the sky
Thundering and lightning dance to climax.
Beki from Mount Butterfly said:
A thousand-year golden fir is in bud
A fountain in peace is to flow
The surge will reach the depth of the sea
The temple of gods is splendid as a flower.
Chizuo from Mount Butterfly stepped forward; he bowed and sang:
I row with a paddle across Double-peak Valley
Get wet passing the jungles
Rising hills and streams appear
I find my way back and forth and reach heaven.
Raisin from Sakura Island smilingly sang in an unhurried manner:
Endless springtime!
The plum has blossomed for times to sing merrily and dance gracefully
Even the leafless ironwood can turn the world upside down with its charm.
All the guests from Mount Butterfly and Sakura Island (excepting Pine and River) finished their turns. Meda had been limp and soft as a noodle; no one knew who she chose. Ray came to the scene.
Ray was more than six hundred years old. She was considerate, sophisticated, and respected. She smiled and said, “Jade, take Meda to your room to rest. Everyone else, come to Entertainment Garden. Pine will lecture; then we will guess riddles, play hide-and-seek and tell stories.”
============
Everyone headed toward Entertainment Garden delightedly. Ray spoke privately with Sang, Beki, Chiron, Chizuo, and Basong respectively, and then left along with other celestials.
Here come two flowers; let’s go to the first one: Entertainment Garden.
Entertainment Garden had been built up for more than thirty-thousand years. It has a square in the center, surrounded by three-hundred stone benches arranged in circles and covered with soft mats. Tree bonsai, rock bonsai, and flower bonsai are placed between them. Around the square is the clear, blue Ring Lake. Within the lake, grotesque coral reef-like rockeries are embedded with emeralds and mosses. There are also reeds, evergreens, calla lilies, egg bamboo leaves, wandering jews, aloe, sea onions, hibiscus palms, lotuses, gem flowers, bamboo begonias, scarlet kaffir lilies, variable leaf wood, chamomile, fairy pens, and other plants and flowers. All kinds of small fish shuttle in the lake and above them, mandarin ducks, red-crowned cranes, spotted ducks, gulls, kingfishers, egrets, herons, white-tailed sea carvings, and larks swim or fly. On the periphery of Ring Lake is a flag path beside a garden where thyme, globe amaranths, yulan, bauhinias, forsythias, rhododendrons, pomegranates, banana scrubs, gardenias, jasmines, hibiscus mutabilis, camellia, cymbidium, hyacinth, tulips, violets, vinca, paeonia, tuberose, marigold, peonies, and roses are blooming. Outside the garden, hundreds of rockeries with exquisite layouts, upon which creepers, ivy, and night willow herbs are coiled. It's a fun place to play hide-and-seek.
Pine sat upright in the center of the square, his hair was white, but he was in good health with sharp ears and eyes. Male and female celestials sat on stone benches, casually listening to Pine talk about Tao...
"The universe is boundless while LIFE is evergreen.
Modesty and gratitude will perpetuate the water source of LIFE.
Follow your heart and gain a tacit understanding.
Experience both the ego-absent realm and the ego-involved realm.
One should empty their mind before entering the higher-level space.
Act in accordance with your nature.
Never admire luxury or possess even a needle.
Seize the day and always remain vigilant.
Mortals suffer a lot because of their possessions.
We Celestials must never act like them.
The Ten-thousand-year World is close at hand.
Concentrate on self-cultivation; never ruin your future..."
After listening to Pine’s preaching for some time, attentively, male and female celestials felt refreshed, energized, pure, and enlightened.
The next game was guessing riddles.
Hye stood up first and proposed a riddle:
"Both ends are curved like carrying poles; it is not used for carrying water or rice; it is like a flat ground from east to west; it is always covered with emerald green moss."
Beveren from Sakura Island immediately stood up and said, "It is a bridge!"
Horry, a female celestial, stood up and proposed a riddle:
"It is black and dark and even eighteen cattle can’t pull it."
Silence, a male one, shouted, "It's a cave!"
Jovan, who looked girlish, stood up smartly, cleared his throat, and proposed a riddle:
"There is a unique cave on the hillside; it is usually closed and has a seam. If it is stirred by a peak, the brushes on both sides will drip with water."
Hearing the riddle, everyone was stunned at first but then roared with a laughter that echoed to the clouds.
The riddle game lasted for a while longer. After that, they told stories and played hide-and-seek. Laughter, joy, and happiness abounded.
============
Meda from Lush Highland followed into Jade’s bright and spacious room; her walls, doors, and roof were made of bamboo and her silk curtains floated in the wind. Outside her rear window was the picturesque Land of Splendors, where red-crowned cranes dancing trippingly, sweet flowers, and tweeting birds can only be described by one word: "beautiful!”. Several bamboo deck chairs lined her room. Her wide bamboo bed was covered with several layers of mats knitted with fragrant milkweeds as thin as threads. The mats emitted a refreshing fragrance. It was soft and comfortable to lie upon. The pillow made of flexible lotus roots was yellowish and elegant. Jade knew that Meda could not hold it at that moment, so she patted on Meda’s plump hips and left.
Due to their LIFE structures, women in the Thousand-year World generally had no sex lives. Their menstrual cycles were different from those of mortals, only occurring once every three months. A few days before their cycles would end were their estrous periods, so they desired intimacy only three or four times per year. That which flows constantly will form a small murmuring stream, but that which does not will accumulate and become a reservoir. It is quiet when closed, but after the gate opens, waves will surge and uncontrollable billows will dash against the sky that cannot be resisted by self-control. Meda was on the edge of such an explosion at that moment.
Men in the Thousand-year World were completely different from women; they could display their elegant demeanor at any time and control their lust totally. Without external stimulus, they had no desire, but when teased by women during their estrus, would gallop on the grasslands like runaway wild horses.
In addition, celestials in the Thousand-year world enjoyed excellent lifelong health and thus did not suffer from emotional distress or psychological burdens. There were various recreational and physical activities, so women were soft as cotton, highly energetic, dynamic, and attractive, while men were physically strong, muscular and powerful, and full of vital essence and vigor.
============
Meda sat on pins and needles and felt anxious. There was an overwhelming potential energy inside her body that was ready to explode but failed to find its outlet. At that very moment of her unbearable thirst, Beki came into view. At the sight of Beki's big, tall, and muscular physique, and sparkling eyes, Meda jumped onto him like a hungry tiger. Beki put his arms around Meda’s waist and spined his body at his convenience while Meda used her legs to step onto his hips and hooked his waist with her feet. Beki held Meda in his arms tightly; they kissed madly with their lips stuck together like glue. Meanwhile, Meda's middle part made reciprocating motions back and forth like a hungry bird opening its mouth to take food from its mother's throat. Her plump labia and valley were rubbed firmly against his hot loverod. With uncontrollable excitement, after rubbing about fifty times, a stream of clear liquid flowed out of her vulva and nourished her surrounding parts. Just at that moment, Beki squeezed into her Temple of God with his penis along her seam flowing with clear liquid; Meda suddenly had a full feeling inside as if her pelvis would split, a current flowed through her body and an unbearable pleasure was beating inside her. Beki held Meda and went to her bedside. Meda was in a supine position on the bed with her feet on the ground while Beki moved rapidly. Meda closed her eyes and ignored the raging wind. Meda felt swelling, limp, and numb, pain, smoothness, warmth, fullness, wetness, and energy; it seemed a wonderful electric wave radiated from the center point between her legs to every cell and corner. Meda tightened her body; her flexible tendons of legs, feet, hands, and other parts were stiff like reinforcing steel bars after an electric shock. The gate had opened and the flood poured out along it. Short of breath, she felt extremely excited and wonderful. It was like flying, a volcanic explosion, and cracking and bursting fireworks.
Opening the gate was just a prelude. Beki opened the gate and extinguished his fire, little by little. For Meda, opening the gate was far from enough and she wanted to drain out the reservoir after months of accumulation. If anything was left, it would be very unbearable for her in the following days, so more wonderful, graceful, unrestrained, lewd, dissolute, winding, and pleasurable plots were staged with the arrival of Sang, Raisin, Chiron, Chizuo, and Basong one after another. These stories are omitted because mortals cannot morally bear for them to be described.
This has only been a limited glimpse of the Thousand-year world with its own lifestyle and morals which we cannot imagine. We will experience more detailed scenarios as our thinking deepens, our consciousness improves, and our LIFE structure advances.

It's all about natural perceptions. Yes, it's hard to draw a line where suffering starts and where ends, but we've been feeling it through times, and our ancestors felt the same. I don't think it's necessary to set a limit - because in this time (setting a limit) we will be afraid of not crossing the border, and our horror will be started again, 'cause now some of us are afraid of crossing the border of pain. I'm not afraid of marriage, because I know that each new day might bring me troubles and washed away my efforts to gain or reach something, but I try nevertheless. Even if there would be a risk to be killed I would have tried to save my girlfriend from tortures by crimes or gangs if she'd trapped into their lair. Sometimes we have not so much struggle and strength to do something, but an action itself is an action already. Just do it and we can handle our troubles. TTYW (or The Thousands of Year World) which you've posted is interesting in its dream plot, but it seems to be an utopia, the place that doesn't exist. Anyway, I'd prefer a world with suffering and pain, but with a meaning of life that can be reached by working on it, than miraculous bubble plastic heavens. Do you know why there is hell and heaven? Are people living in hell driven there or voluntarily? There is no hell or heaven until we decide it to be. No, there's no people who would be driven or taken voluntary to it. As I said, there's no hell&heaven, and I think it would be good to stay away from 'em. What is would be better is - to stick up your girlfriend, taking care of her.
