Goodness loves and associates with that which is good.Perfect goodness which is the nature of God is only able to associate with that which has been do/becomes spotlessly good. Perfection is not gratuitous. direct perfection is requisite before one can enter the presence of God. If perfection is not achieved in this life by those not condemned to Hell, so it must be obtained through a purification transit in an intermediate state of existence. In this state referred to as Purgatory by those who accept Catholic doctrine (mandatory for Catholics) ones attachment to any imperfections, brought about by self-will, is gradually overcome.The remotion of attachment to sin often a degree of denial relating to bad habit(s) not fully dealt with in this life is facilitated through the application of that degree of boost (pain) that proves obligatory over an extended period of time to make one accept the indispensableness of turning onward from accumulated dysfunctional desires and activities that had been accepted by the spiritual mind.
