When I was but a small boy, I heard the name of a place called "paradise." I really thought it was an actual place that you could visit. Where was it? Well naturally, I figured it was just north of Paris. My father explained to me that it's just an imaginary place. And then I wondered, why there were so many people wanting to visit this one imaginary place when you can't ever go there? My father couldn't quite explain it to me. It was just a few years later when it finally dawned on me what it really meant. LOL.
