Paradise

Paradise represents the archetypal realm of perfect harmony, abundance, and peace. Whether located in the distant past as a Golden Age, hidden in some remote corner of the present world, or promised in the future, Paradise embodies humanity's deepest longing for a place of complete fulfillment. Free from death, suffering, and toil, this blessed realm represents the ideal state of existence where mortals live in unity with nature, each other, and the divine.
