Hell

Hell is not an easy topic to discuss since I have never been there-- at least not in the physical sense.

Hell happens when we don't work together for peace, when we don't care about others, when we don't understand what suffering there is in this world.

Some religions believe the truest nature of hell is the absence of the Beloved. Satan's crime was not his desire for man's reverence; it was his jealousy for God's attention. This is perhaps the worst case of sibling rivalry ever recorded.

Hell: A world in which everybody agrees with me.

Maybe there isnt´t a hell anywhere- but this doesn´t mean everywhere´s heaven!

'Hell is other people'. What the heck am I doing here then? Just being part of the hell of other people, I guess...

A wealthy farmer went to church one Sunday. After services he said to the priest, »Father, that was a damned good sermon you gave, damned good!«
»I'm happy you liked it,« said the priest. »But I wish you wouldn't use those terms in expressing yourself.«
»I can't help it,« said the rich farmer. »I still think it was a damned good sermon. In fact, I liked it so much I put a hundred dollar bill in the collection basket.«
»The hell you did?!« replied the priest.

If indeed we each create our own hell (or heaven for that matter), and inhabit it alone or with others (like Sartre), whichever we find less happy, then my main goal will be be to bring nice drapes to either place. I figure if I am alone, I can look at my nice drapes and be happy, and if i am with others, they might like them as well. If they don't, and are just disagreeable people, those people in hell with me, then I'll just shut my drapes.
