Take a look at book of Revelation 21 -- the New Jerusalem. The only people who will be in heaven -- are those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The Holy Spirit comes to indwell that person -- our inner desires are changed - for the Better. We will look Forward to being with God / we will be with our born-again loved ones / friends who've gone to be with the Lord before we did. We will have a glorified body like Jesus's was when He ascended back to heaven.
In the end - God will bring the New Jerusalem down from heaven / the home that He is presently preparing for His Children / born again believers.
No more evil influences.
There's a song that says 'we'll understand it all by and by' / when we get there we'll understand it all.

Too bad we weren't made that way from the start.

Well -- in the beginning we Were -- Adam and Eve were fellowshipping with God in the Garden. But that tree of the knowledge of good and evil got eaten from -- even though they were told Not to. They didn't trust that God's Word was right -- they listened to a lie from satan and /blame it all on 'them'.
