Yes i want to be in paradise.
I am away from home far from my loved ones and wont be home for another two weeks and have been away from them for two weeks already.
I really miss them. I don't have much money to spend and all i'm doing is working and staying in a hotel. Sucks.

The only way to be in paradise is to keep your nose on the pomander ball so you don't smell the stench of the downtrodden as you pass them by.
Hopefully others will bear their burdens in silence so as not to disturb your lofty selfish goals.

People need to stop making everyone else pay the price for their burdens.
If you have a bad situation, it's your own mind that is making you experience it negatively.
I walk around the malls surrounded by a bunch of spoiled, grown up brats who have no self worth and hate themselves. Instead of looking within, they choose to make me and everyone else the enemy of all of their problems.
Everywhere you look, they are blaming others for their problems. Government, economy, bosses, co workers, ex spouses , ex friends..you name it, they'll blame it...as long as they don't have to look at themselves.
The paradise the OP is referring to, is a state of mind you reach when you stop needing the approval of others in order to be happy. You don't need people to be nice to you, and you're not affected when they disapprove of you.
It frees you from that bondage and makes you available to finally Love everyone around you.
You realize that you are not the reason for their unhappiness or anger. THEY are. It's a shield that protects you from people like that, yet allows you to love them more than ever.
It's God's eye, or the divinity of mind. Some call it the Holy Grail.

I have a few questions.
Is Paradise in Southern California?
Does everyone in it look like your avatar?
If I come, will I get my 72 dark-eyed, high-breasted houris?
Can I have 18 light-eyed ones and 54 dark-eyed ones instead?
(I don't want any low-breasted ones, though; you can have those.
I don't want any anorexic ones either.)
Are there any fools in Paradise?
(Not counting the bimb--er, houris, I mean.
It's okay if they're a couple of watercress sandwiches short of the whole picnic.)
Is everybody Vegan in Paradise or is bacon allowed?
Okay, if bacon is verboten, how about seafood? It can't be Paradise without seafood, I mean, come on.
Do you have to meet your in-laws in Paradise?
Can you buy insurance against that?
I hear wine from the spring of Tasneem, that flows in Paradise,
refreshes but never intoxicates.
That sounds suspiciously like plain water to me.
Can you confirm that Tasneem wine has an alcohol content of at least 11%, corresponding to the US legal minimum content for table wine?
And finally, could you also please confirm that the suicide-bombers are accommodated separately, together with their houris, away from other residents in a special secure facility? I don't care if they have Hummers. I don't care if the Hummers are diamond-encrusted. I just don't want them parking in my neighbourhood.
Thank you.
By the way, the place I live is often called a tropical paradise.
Life is hell for most of its luckless citizens.
I am also reminded of a line by the Eagles:
'Call some place Paradise, kiss it goodbye.'

Thank you for answering my questions so fully.
I have just one more.
Is there anyone in Paradise with a sense of humour?
