"In paradise man is born dead." Werner Herzog
Why?
Werner says, from old Arab lore, "A man has no shadow in paradise, he has no enemies or friends, for being perfect he needs neither. In his completeness he has nothing to achieve and cannot loose anything. He is bereft of both joy and pain... To all intents and purposes... He is already dead.
I think I'll pass on paradise... I'll take the pain and the joy.
