Choose Life over life

Yes, we are here to ultimately go to Heaven. I think most people want to be happy, even though their lives are stressful, painful, despicable, they still want to be happy, and they continue living because in their heart, they know it is attainable. That is God's grace trying to draw us towards Him, to heaven. God wants happiness on earth, but knows it is unattainable until we rest in Him, (Heaven) because of our broken nature (Adam and Eve). He fosters this concept of Hope, Joy, Happiness in us, even if we have no idea who He is (Jesus) and begs us to learn from mistakes, or circumstances, and to know that we can perceive happiness through great suffering, even if we are the one's inflicting the suffering.
This does not mean that God condones or likes suffering. He HATES it. But who causes it? We do. God hates suffering so much because he sees that is draws us away from the happiness He desires for us (Again, Heaven). This infliction of suffering, whether it be direct, indirect, on ourselves, on others is called SIN. Not only is this written on the 10 commandments, in the bible, throughout history, but it is written on our hearts, souls, minds (not just Christian believers).
Do not sin, and you will know true happiness.
This is the joy of choosing life, choosing someone other than yourself, choosing the life in the womb, whether it was intended or not, and choosing life for yourself, specifically, life for your soul.
Choose Life over life
