What is heavenly?

A common drawing of absolute heaven shows people lounging on clouds, maybe some of them playing harps.  The picture frequently is about bliss.  No worries, no taxes (I think), no calendars, public or private means of communication.  Just bliss and then more bliss!


If we meet these conditions, can we create a heavenly experience before death?  Seems doubtful.  Before very long, maybe an hour, maybe a couple of days, won't we want some "action", some cause to work for, maybe an enemy or two?  Won't we want a football, a chess set, maybe a sudoku or two?  Will there be Wordle or the Times or porn or Shirley Jackson or Stephen King?
