Is Our Treasure in Heaven Or on Earth?

Do you know anyone, who seems to have it pretty bad on earth and really can't wait for the suffering and pain to go away from their life? I have met plenty of them. These people often create their own problems and these problems eventually lead to suffering. This suffering eventually leads them to hope, hope is what some religions offer to relieve the suffering on earth and the promise of heaven is starting to sound pretty good.

It's not hard to imagine someone living today in difficult circumstances. When the economy isn't going very good, often people suffer with thoughts of despair and dwell on negative upcoming future events. These constant negative thoughts can add to our suffering and perpetuate the glorious ideas of the treasures waiting for us in heaven.

Is our treasure in heaven, a life beyond everything that you can possibly dream about. If you're a good religious follower, you get a really nice house, where ever you would like to live and will never have to worry about anything again. This often sounds more like a fantasy world than a reality.

I can see where anybody could easily get caught up in these beliefs. Hope offers us relief, this relief can take away the burden and pain of our daily lives, sometimes. Now I would imagine that poor people, are easier to convince about their treasures waiting for them in heaven. People that don't have very much and live in a life of daily suffering, poor sanitation conditions, starvation, water and housing problems can easily grasp onto these beliefs.

Wealthy people who seem to have treasures stacked up in large quantities, and who are living a pretty good life, might think a little different. Are they going to have even more in heaven? It's hard for them to imagine having more stuff than they have right now.

I don't believe there is a heaven, there very well could be but there isn't any real proof. Try to make the best out of your life on Earth and don't get too caught up with the glorious hope of heaven. Life is meant for living and try to be and become the best you can, learn to be more loving and compassionate and enjoy your life on Earth, it might be the only one you have.

In Judaism, only they get to go to heaven, Christianity relies on a belief in Jesus as God and the path to heaven through Islamic beliefs is going to be long and hard. If the Christians are right, the Muslims and Jews don't get to go to heaven, if the Muslims are right, well you get the point.
