I've had similar thoughts and this is my provisional answer.

The Judeo-Christian answer would be that those in heaven have been transformed/purified, so they see events on earth as perfected beings with purified thoughts, feelings and motives and a certain emotional detachment.

Seeing even a fraction of all the terrible things humans do to each other would be overwhelmingly tragic and a terrible punishment, unless we had been transformed first.
