In a perfect universe, at a perfect spacetime, is a perfect lifespan. This lifespan experiences no suffering, and starts and ends with the universe.
It is all seeing and all understanding of its purpose in life from start to finish (to a simple degree based on what a life bound to a spacetime universe can maximally perceive and understand), and all understanding of the concepts which created its universe and lifespan. Its understanding is complete, to within its bounds. its suffering is nil, and it is all round a good experience.
It is maximally heaven.
What might be called maximally hell is not as far to the opposite of maximally heaven, as life would not take hold in that state (as in most universes). Rather it is within a far more flawed conceptual universe, but there'll be just enough there to contain a lifetime that could easily be described as hell.
Suffering is a measurable output of a given lifespan. It would be one variable that can be measured and understood from an external perspective. It is healthy in an adaptive sense in a universe that has roadblocks in the way, ie. an imperfect universe (welcome to universe f4977b35-6599-4055-b2b1-cae42bdceea9).
This adaptive trait helps most life move towards a more perfect state as quickly as possible, within the bounds of the flaws laid out within the universe that created it.
The universes that are capable of life that understands the reason for existance ("the meaning of life") are the most abundant. Where life takes hold in other situations, it is typically short lived and undramatic.
