Just been thinking about how easy it will be to enjoy life in Heaven. Where I really tend to focus on this is the pleasure circuit. I think about when you first get into a new hobby and how fun and exhilarating it is. I think about when you first fall in love and how great that is. And many other examples. The thing is, while on Earth these things tend to fade a bit or perhaps we need breaks, sometimes we completely lose interest. Rarely can someone keep the same amount of interest as when they first started.
I believe in Heaven that we could be wired to keep that same amount of interest if we really wanted to though. That our love for a hobby would never fade and always give ourselves the same amount of pleasure. If our brains were wired a certain way, we could really enjoy doing the same thing for all eternity and never lose interest or get bored. Our relationships would always stay exciting and great.
Tolerances can be good in certain instances though for sure, it leads to variety in life. If we were all just hyper focused on one thing that gave us immense enjoyment, we really wouldn’t get much done, and we wouldn’t enjoy the variety of life. Tolerances may play a vital role in our Earthly societies and serve an evolutionary purpose. Tolerances may have allowed our minds to break free from simple thinking. Otherwise we may have the mind of a fish or something of that nature. Only focusing on a few things.
But I find it heartening to think that we could be wired to get immense enjoyment out of one activity in Heaven. That we would be completely happy doing it for all eternity. Makes me worry less about getting too bored and all that. That boredom is something that I’m sure if God really wanted to, could wire it out of our brains. I feel that in Heaven boredom would potentially be our greatest enemy. But, when I think along these lines, I imagine that won’t be a problem at all. More a matter of finding an optimal pleasure circuit in which we will still want to enjoy a wide variety of things and establish a rich culture.
Add it all into a sinless society, and life will be great beyond our imagining!
