The existance of heaven and/or hell has been disputed between atheists and religious people for a long time. However, from my logic, i find a slightly different case.
1. Hell
Hell is supposed to be the place where you get punished for your sins through torturous ways. However, we all have the ability to adapt- it is hardwired into all of us. This would result in adapting to the constant pain and suffering depicted in hell. People would get used to the pain - like a battle hardened warrior, and hell would become much less effective. Also, after spending a long time in hell, you would result in becoming pessimistic if your not a moron. This would also make the torture less effective. If hell cant do all these things, then it cant exist.
Actually the closest thing to hell would be where people could get dissapointed continually - which in order of that to happen , something has to bring their spirits up before it comes crashing down again. This of course, is known as planet Earth today.
2. Heaven
Heaven is supposed to be where everyone can coexist happily together for very long , if not infinite amounts of time. I find that this is impossible as everyone has their own different versions of heaven and no one thing can satisfy everyone. If people have to change values , to get into heaven, then it cant possibly be a heaven worth going to.
If heaven were to exist, it would be a massive illusion where everything seems to work your way while every person is actually fake. Everyone would have their own versions of heaven to go to. We wouldnt be able to tell the difference if we're dead. If you ask me, a heaven without some real people (resulting in conflicts and becomeing not heaven) cant be any heaven i can imagine.
To summarise, there cant be a real heaven and hell, there is only this reality which is a mixture of both. It has its bad points and it has its good points. I really cant picture them separated.
(On a later note) I still must consider the opposite though (to be fair), there is much unknown about the universe, other dimensions and other things, so anything is possible, even if only in our dreams.

Luck (its about time)
Luck should be shared equally throughout ones life as well as through the world.
When i say luck, i mean good fortune, and when i say bad luck , i mean bad fortune.
For example ... Lets say someone has really bad luck one day. Then , there would either have been good luck previously , or good luck will soon come.
Unfortunately, its difficult to say when an incident of good luck will balance out an incident of bad luck or if its already been balanced out.
Heres my observations:
1. Someone who wins the Lotto usually has some drawback or other afterwards. This could include being robbed because everyone knows you have alot of money or even a family dispute over who actually won the money.
2. You find money some time in your life, then you lose some money in your life.
Im not saying that you'd get good luck in the same form the bad luck was in , (finding . then losing money etc), it usually is in another form.
Also, the incident of good luck might not be visible, like being unaware that you narrowly missed dying etc.
Other peoples bad luck can also cause bad luck or good luck to other people. E.g A car crash delaying a schools starting time to the kids delight :D
Due to the inability to monitor everyones lives at once and see if luck is actually shared equally , my theory cant be disproven =D
This way of thinking however, may trigger optimism when bad things happen and pessimism when good things happen though.
But what it does do is get rid of the belief that ones life can be all good or all bad, if someones life seems too good to be true, you probably dont know about the person enough.
It also reduces jealousy because if something good happens to someone else , you can count on that something bad has happened or will happen so everyone is equal , even to the one who has nothing happen to them.
