Point I meant to make...

Camassia posted last week about the fact in Heaven there'll be a lot of people there whom we don't know and/or didn't want to know. I think what is attractive about the doctrine of Purgatory (as well as the Orthodox view of the gradual divinization of man) is that in Heaven everyone will be so likeable. Purged of selfishness and our obsession with appearances, people we may not have wanted to know on earth we'll be able to appreciate in Heaven.
