If heaven is so great, than why are we on earth any way? Why can't everything be perfect all the time? Is it really all because god and satan had a fight and were just traped between good and evil? Why couldn't god and satan just be friends and get along and everyone be happy? If were all gods children than is god a mean monster that throws children into a pit of fire? Whats really going on?

A Human World can be a hopeful place. The more we focus on the subjective inner workings of our own soul and the relative purity or impurity of our own attitudes and behavior, the more uncertain we become of our own assessment of our authenticity. God's will for us is that we live in the liberty and the joy and the power of full assurance. He means for us to know assuredly that we are bound for heaven and that we will not fail to get there.
It is possible for true Christians, with genuine saving faith, to go through periods of time in which they do not have the full assurance of hope. John said in 1 John 5:13, "I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." In other words, the heart's true allegiance to Christ and true union with Christ are not completely identical with strong feelings of assurance. Faith can be real when the feelings of assurance are weak. we do not live in a perfect world. When Adam and Eve sinned, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden. Life has been hard for man ever since (Genesis 3:17-19). This includes having to deal with life's trials and tribulations in order to grow and progress. But Christians are blessed. They can look forward to an eternity in heaven where there is no death or pain (Revelation 21:4).

Things aren't perfect because you see them as imperfect. If you simply took note that everything that is taking place is a part of everything's inherit nature. So the only thing that's not perfect is your perception.

We're on earth because this is Hell. Whatever we did to get here, we'll move on once we atone for it. Why do you think "only the good die young"? They've paid their debt and moved on while the miserable bastards of the world hang on forever!

I know... that crap doesn't make sense!!!
Open your eyes to the world... and what it is to exist.
The fact you asked this question shows that you are on the right path. Keep going... Seek the truth. It is all around you, it is obvious, and it'll set you free.

Without darkness, you would never learn to appreciate light. And without tribulation, you wouldn't even know what paradise was.

If everything is perfect all the time, then "perfect" will lose its concept.
