Most people will assume heaven = pure pleasure 24 hours a day, and Hell = pain 24 hours a day.
Now as humans we dont really experience 'pleasure' as most pleasures on our list are really just 'relief from pain' or discomfort
Scratching, burping, farting, peeing, defacating, having a bath, sneezing, playing sports, watching sports, watching scary movies, laughing, eating, drinking, alcohol, drugs, sex etc etc . . . . all designed to lower stress and release endorphines (painkillers) and bring us from out pained state back up to our normal 'pleasured' state.
It follows therefore that heaven is simply permanent'absence' of pain, fear, stress etc, and is therefore not a positive experience as such but rather the absence of a negative one.
When we die we can no longer suffer . . . hence we are in theoretical 'heaven' . . . . (and you thought heaven was snorting cocaine out of Britneys navel!!)
