Almost Had a Thought

So what defines us the most? What makes us, us? Emotions, choices, control over both or either? What do you treasure, is it things or being you? Would you trade being you, free will, for absolute pleasure?

If you will not trade pleasure for being you, then how much pain can you take to be you? I mean, how much pain are you willing to take to be you?

Heaven is reached when you have met your limits, when you know who you are. When you define yourself and have faced all of your fears, proven yourself to be you, then you experience your heaven. If you choose X over Y then you have chosen your destination.
