Do you think, by the way that the suffering of even loved ones in hell can be a cause of rejoicing for those in heaven, seeing God's justice?

There is no way someone who had this "state of mind" could possibly be in Heaven with God, period.

Don't know whether it's the truth or not. Am curious though: is it your truth? Is it your truth in terms of how you live your day-to-day life? Focused on the next life, on heaven versus hell? Which I suppose is all well and good, but in the meantime, what are you truly concerned about in the here and now? What do you care about? What do you love? What is that 'truth' to you? Who do you love and care about in that 'truth?'

Not later. But now.
