The difference and definition of Heaven, Purgatory and Hell

How do you define each one of it? Who could possibly tell you where to find it and how does it looks like? Yes, you may think that the people who is knowledgeable about it are your elders, Reverend or any person preaching the words from the holy bible of Christianity.

I am not pretending to be somebody that does know much from any holy bible of any religion. I been attending many bible sharing gatherings, attending church mass of different beliefs. All of that I have been attended has only one thing in common, there is only one God.
So there is no need to debate what is the rightful religion to follow, that can only save you.

With all due respect to the people spreading Christianity, I would like to make this thing clear. I am not against of what you taught because I am a Christian believer and I am for peace.

Now let us go to my own definition. My other point of view about those three.
Let me introduce to you a situation. It just happened that you saw a bus accident, passengers scattered everywhere. Of course you cannot just watched them screaming and crawling for help. You helped them bringing to the hospital. Afterward, one person told you, "Thank you very much, you saved my life". How would you feel? Honored and happy, because you saved a life. The next situation is, when you sacrifice to get something good that you wanted you will be rewarded. Provided that no one was hurt in achieving it. When you do good to others, it may be done unto you. Perhaps that is heaven. Everybody else are happy.

The opposite of doing good to others obviously doing bad things to others. From the time you start doing that, you might be happy because you do it for revenge. But deep inside your heart you are guilty. You are afraid to be alone that there might be somebody hunting you down. You have no peaceful mind by doing it. That I defined hell.

Back to the situations mentioned above. You did not do anything and you are there just looking at it. You could not be blamed if the passenger would die, 'twas in accident. It is not your fault. So let us put it this way. The passenger died without anybody attempting to help him. You just found out that if only somebody had helped him, he will surely be alive until now. And that somebody was you. How would you live with your life with that kind of conscience.

Man's doing has two kinds. The good and the bad. It will lead you to three directions. Heaven, Purgatory and Hell. If you haven't done either good or bad then it is just like you do not forward a single step for a journey. You are loosed, you didn't choose any direction. You just stay on your foot as you are stagnant and that is your purgatory.

That's it, when you are in trouble and desperate then you are in hell. When you are truly happy with the people around you then you are in heaven. And when you are uncertain because you do not know where to stand over your thought, you are in purgatory.
