Heaven Can't Wait

So a little girl asks her father, why we go to heaven? And if we do, hey why do we come back! That just makes no sense. errrr... Why are we born, she asks, if we are to go back to heaven, and coming from there in the first place. What is the point of all these moving?

So here's the funda. Heaven is an overcrowded place. Really, really lacks breathing space. People fainting on top of each other, waiting in line. It's like waiting for Beatles ticket if they'd come back from the dead for one last performance... Can you imagine the headcounts in the stadium? Hitler's gas chambers would be less crowded! So to avoid this extremely unhygienic, claustrophobic heaven, G-d sends a whole bunch of people to earth from time to time to clear out Heaven congestion... because the traffic at this hour is unexpectedly high... (because for some time now, God is in a generous mood and giving out fliers for Free-Heaven. And angels shouting slogans from high rise buildings, "Free-Heaven with Free-Food! Come join us! Help our cause"). And little India packed in Little China would be a fitting analogy for this crowded Heaven... people fainty and frustrated, falling on top of each other, and bickering at each other, cutting lines, pushing, pulling, showing the middle finger, moving in this crowded place, unwashed, stinking, growing lice, passing lice, and before it should get any more congested, G-d decides to send whole bunch of people back to earth. Essentially, to get some breathing space in Heaven. And very soon God will perhaps come up with a new idea.. a new amended heaven... with better sanitary system, perhaps. Or it maybe that G-d will do away with the whole heaven and hell discrimination. Now, tell me, does it really help to have all the goody two shoes in one place, separated from all the bad folks in some other place? I think not. Nobody will ever learn anything, then.
