Although right now it is not possible, once we see Jesus we will be like him, and see things from his perspective, not our own. And we will not only agree that hell is a good, we will rejoice in God's righteous judgement. In other words, it will not be the "dirty little secret" of eternity that billions of our fellow human beings are in eternal torments, it will be warmly received by all of us as the extension of God's righteousness, his glory, and his love for the redeemed.
