A forum member writes: If there really were an afterlife, what would you like it to be like? ... I assume none of us are interested in the standard clouds and harps heaven, but there must be other options. Two popular ones in the literature are as follows:

1. Bucolic bliss. A bit like the popular image of the garden of eden, with plants and streams and nice friendly animals.

2. Human relationships. You meet all the people you met in life, and sort out your reactions to each other. [A variation on this would be the one where they watch their families from the sky and worry about them.]

Surely there must be better heavens than these? What would you like?
