At least in theist minds. In simple logic? Sure. Theists, however, cannot work that out.

Because that is a mess.

We should be following Jesus because Jesus is good, and we desire goodness for it's own sake. Even if Heaven didn't exist at all, as humans, most of us naturally have a certain attraction and admiration towards that which is good.Yeah but you are an admitted canibal, or one who rejects what catholicism actually says. You don't get to have opinions because you hold conflicting opinions which are mutually exclusive.
As for what the afterlife will be like, exactly, that I don't know. It is a matter of faith. But we can deduce that IF God does in fact exist, and if God truly is goodness and love, then being completely consumed within Him will be the ultimate fulfillment.
