Why would we want to go to heaven?
Whatever your conception of heaven is, would you want to exist there forever?
For example, one description for a Biblical heaven has been that we get new bodies that do not have sex organs, and that we may eat for pleasure, but do not need to. Other implications from this description were that we no longer had "needs" and we could do just about whatever we wanted. If this were the case, we would have no drive/motivation to do anything. If you look at the extremely wealthy that are able to do just about anything they want, they are bored. Children with a plethora of toys will commonly say they are bored. So, given an eternity to do everything, I can only assume that I would get bored eventually, and forever after I would lay about, not wanting to do anything. So, does anyone really want to exist for eternity, regardless of how much fun it may seem? If yes, why?

Why go to heaven?
Because there isn't anywhere else.

Heaven in my faith is a union with God.

I asume, that according to the stories of heaven, you will not get bored there. If boredom is a negative feeling and heaven takes away negative feelings...
It is possible that you wouldn't even know eternal feelings. so that's not a problem either.

We can say there ain't no heaven
But we pray there ain't no hell! Obviously, it BEATS the alternative.

Maybe in heaven if you get bored of all the funs you can try some suffering by changing yourself into a cattle and enjoy the slaughterhouse for half an hour before you return to heaven.
