 A life of bliss?
We have the capacity to all live a life of bliss, of great joy, but it is not something that we will experience in our lifetimes. God allows suffering because suffering is necessary. If there was no suffering, how could we experience bliss? There has to be two ends of the spectrum. You can't just have joy or it becomes normal, it becomes nothing spectacular. And as human nature goes, we would soon want more than bilss, more than joy, so there was a quote that went something like this:
"The deeper sorrow can carve into your being, the more joy you can contain."
So, I guess it is more of a personal thing. If you realize that a state of eternal bliss is something that would make things mundane and uniform, which would not be a good place to live, too boring. It's overcoming suffering, into bliss, the journey there, that makes things more blissful. Keep that in mind.
