HEAVEN

HEAVEN

I was once asked what my idea of Heaven was. I could give many answers, but my answer then was: 'I think that Heaven would be a state of mind when we are genuinely in love with a particular person.' I am not ashamed today of this definition. Experience has, on the whole, made me believe that we do well to be demonstrative and  affectionate in a love-starved world, and to express freely at least those of our emotions which are not objectionable to others.
