What is your view of Paradise?

It may be irrelevant to the book, but I'm curious. Do you think
Paradise is worth dying for? I just want to know what other people think.

That's a really tough question. Almost like religion, you take it upon faith, so if you really believe Paradise exists and it's good, then it's a matter of how strong you believe that.  But, if you doubt or are unsure...then you wouldn't take that leap...in your case dying for Paradise.
Personally, I don't know. Humans base most of their lives on what they can see, physical aspects, so naturally one would want to know what exactly Paradise is before the decide.
Look at me, I'm rambling. What about you? You asked the question.

I read about a woman who had a near-death experience in which she "died" on the operating table.  She wrote that she felt so filled with love that she didn't want to leave.  When she "floated" to the waiting room and saw her family so worried about her, she came back to them.  Perhaps that "so filled with love" is what Paradise is.  Love sure feels wonderful; imagine feeling that all the time.
