Ok, Lou,
I have thought about your question. The reason the answer is so hard for me to find is that there are two kinds of hurt: the kind I create and the kind that is directed towards me.
My uncertainty was if I was unable to hurt anyone in the everlasting afterlife would I want to be there? But what about the hurt directed towards me? Could I handle that without having to handle the guilt and shame of having hurt others?
Yes, I would want an everlasting life I if were unable to hurt others. If I am meant to hurt in the afterlife, than that is the punishment I deserve. As long as I could not be cruel.
Sorry it took me so long to answer, but, you had me thinking.
