page 1: Heaven and hell
Heaven is an ideal state of unalloyed pleasure; its opposite, hell, unalloyed pain. Reality is a superposition of these two states, pleasure and pain to some degree mixed in every human experience. Tolstoy wrote : "All happy families resemble one another; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Tolstoy. The resemblances of happiness arise from its transfinity; the multitude of unhappinesses arise because there are only countable number of ways for things to go wrong.
