The Beatific Vision
Monty Python has a famous skit, The World's Funniest Joke, that everyone who hears it dies laughing:
It's silly, of course, but don't we sometimes have similar ideas of the The World's Most Persuasive Argument, or The World's Most Lovable Person? But reality is that there is no such thing as an argument that convinces everyone who hears it, or a man or woman whom everyone loves who knows them. And that's proof of our free will.
However, I say there is one exception, and that is the Beatific Vision, such that anyone who beholds Him will want for nothing, because there is no competing joy that a person can prefer over Him.
