Jojo over heaven

"Dio, no matter what happens, live nobly and with pride. If you do that,
you'll surely be able to go to heaven."
I wonder if my mother, who always used to tell me that, did indeed to go
heaven in the end? Although she lived at the bottom rung of society, she lived
with a pride that she never lost over the whole course of her life. But while that
may be true, being so, especially being so, no, rather because she was so, I do not
think she obtained a ticket to heaven.
I don't think so.
She was noble, proud, as well as pure, righteous and beautiful, and
actually even goddess-like, but at the same time she was a hopelessly foolish
woman.
I hated that hopeless foolishness.
Take this, for example:
While we were so impoverished we would be worried about eating meals
that day----While both she and I, her son, were in an environment where we
suffered from having empty stomachs, she shared the paltry sum of money she
had worked to earn with hungry children in the neighborhood.
And not just with children; with elderly people or sometimes animals.
She gave charity and blessings to such "weaklings" like it was her duty. What's
the word... "Kindness She would scatter that sort of thing freely to those around
her.
What was that if not foolish?
One can't help but hate it.
Her way of life where she would put herself as well as her family
second was certainly noble and proud, but in that bottom-rung town, there was
no one to assess that nobility and pride.
Depending on the place, like where the Joestar family lived, that sort of
idyllic country town, such character would be reasonably recognized... but in that
town that was worse than a ditch, to be honest, she was a laughingstock.
