Is Heaven Boring?

No, it's not.

(But seriously...)
There's this strange idea in our culture that Heaven, whatever it's like, is going to be drop dead boring.
A lot of people I've talked to have this idea. They imagine Heaven as basically this infinite cloudy place where people sit around in white robes talking, maybe singing some church songs, and looking down judgmentally at the people on earth. So yeah, boring.
There's an episode of a popular television show where Eve (yes, that Eve) comes back to Earth because "there was nothing to do."

Where does this idea even come from? I think basically three main sources: Greek Philosophers, Dante, and Renaissance Paintings.
Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle gave us the idea of the soul, or "psyche," as this kind of ethereal, airy goo that just kind of hangs around and philosophizes about life for all eternity. Funny how that works out.
Dante's depiction of Heaven, for the record, is super ridiculously exciting and surprising. But the people in Heaven don't seem to have much to do. They're kind of all just hanging around in predetermined, hierarchical spots like in the medieval church.
Finally of course, Renaissance paintings give us our "people sitting on clouds" imagery. 

But this isn't how Heaven or the people in Heaven are ever portrayed in the Bible. In the Bible, Heaven is basically Earth+++. It's everything you like about Earth- but in high resolution.

One counter argument I've heard is that "well if everyone is perfect in Heaven, everyone will just be the same. That's boring." But think about it. Boringness is bad. Boringness is an imperfection, so if Heaven is perfect, boringness can't be in Heaven. You know what isn't bad? Variety.
Apples and oranges aren't the same, but they're both delicious. People will not be all the same in Heaven, but they will all be perfect.

Another argument I've heard is: "good things don't have value without bad things. If you don't have any bad things, you won't appreciate the good things as much." But what is dissatisfaction? A bad thing. Being unsatisfied- not enjoying what you have as much as you can- that's a bad thing. It's not in Heaven.
This one is a more clever argument, though.

Don't worry about Heaven not having enough stuff to do. Everything you like doing on Earth? That will be in Heaven in some form or another. And there'll almost certainly be a bunch of other stuff to do that we've never even thought of. Consider: work is a good thing. It's just usually exhausting and time consuming. But in Heaven, you won't get exhausted and you won't lose any time at all. What will we work on? I don't know, but it'll be awesome.

I think it will be like music. There's no one "right answer" to how a stanza of music should end. There are a bunch of right answers, and you might just like one better- just because you like it. Once you've eliminated all the wrong answers, whatever right answer you choose is subjective.
Imagine: progress without mistakes, solutions without problems. That's what's waiting for us.
