I have to say, the Supernatural idea of heaven sounds pretty awful. You just live the same memory forever? It didn’t sound that way in “Dark Side of the Moon” where Sam and Dean saw a number of memories, but with Cas and then Bobby, it was just a single memory. That sounds like an incredibly boring eternity. How long could the human mind last with no new stimuli?

It seems to me to be inherently unfair.  

Good people who have had awful lives are only going to have a few handful of good memories to choose from.  

I mean, seriously, what were Sam’s greatest hits that we saw?  1) an incredibly awkward Thanksgiving dinner with strangers, 2) running away to squat in an abandoned house, 3) the night his father said, “Don’t come back.”  

If you’ve had a rich, wonderful life, then not only life on Earth was good for you, but you didn’t have to struggle through as many barriers to remain someone worthy of going to heaven, and then you get “rewarded” with a rich and varied heaven.

On the other hand, if life screwed you over but you worked hard to remain someone worthy of going to heaven, you’re gonna get there only to discover that you’re heaven is a humdrum string of sepia colored times when at least life didn’t suck at that particular moment.
