Often Taught

We have often been taught.

That when you pass you go to your happy place. 
In heaven.

If this is true. 

have you ever thought what would that be.

I often don't.

I think my happy place is here on earth, 

If so have you ever thought of what it is for others.

Like a happy place for a perv. 
Is with variable kids 
Not that their life's were painful enough they have to spend eternity
with those who hurt them.

Now that's a place I wouldn't want to go, 

I would rather spend eternity in limbo.

Great thoughts here—excellent points. Yeah, someone else’s happy place could be our nightmare. Always, Laura
