It’s not uncommon for human societies to be
divided into lower, middle, and upper classes.
If the old cliche is true — “as above, so below” —
then let’s imagine, strictly for entertainment purposes,
an afterlife divided into lower, middle, and upper heavens.
In this scheme, the lower heavens would be just like earth,
except there would be noticeably less mosquito activity.
Furthermore, there would be fewer collection agencies,
since there would be no money per se, but instead,
words of gratitude would be considered fair
compensation for a good day’s work.
There would be no need for any food, and each soul
would be provided with a room which they could decorate
in any manner they choose, as long as it is in good taste.
The middle heavens would seem a qualitative step up
compared to the lower heavens, at least in the eyes
of the occupants, although actually both heavens
would turn out to be essentially the same.
The chief factor distinguishing the middle heavens
from the lower ones is the speed of their internet
access, as well as their cloud storage capacity.
Likewise, the upper heavens would be quite similar too,
except they would come with various option packages:
Color vs Black & White TVs, Princess telephones
in three stunning colors, 10 speed rather than
the standard 3 speed bikes, and so forth.
All of these heavens would be contained within
one giant transparent sphere, so that interested parties
would have a good vantage point from which they could
observe operations and make clever comments without being
overheard and possibly misunderstood by the dear departed.
Keep in mind, of course, that all of this is mere fantasy,
and where you actually go when you leave here is
a subject which one must google to discover.
