Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions; they have their place in heaven also.
It is a common assumption that a person's good works will get them into Heaven.
Heaven is what we spend our lives trying to find.
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.
To seek the highest good is to live well.
My belief is that 'heaven' and 'hell' are metaphorical terms for what you make of your life. In any instant, you have the ability to make your life total pleasure or total hell.
I think you make the best with what you've got, you know? Sometimes you have very little. And you just always try to rise to higher ground, because you're going to suffer one way or the other, so you just hope that you have strength and perseverance and good friends and faith, some kind of faith, to endure and move on to greener pastures.
Heaven gives us hope and makes our present burdens easier to bear.
I think I'll be going to Heaven, because I had good intentions. But my actions are another thing.
Heaven knows that there are plenty of opportunities in later life, too, for being carried away. What of it? We remain what we are and, no doubt, it is all very good for us!
