We're in Hell
Multiple reasons have led me to compile this group of 'musings' and nothing beyond that - we must be living in hell. Recent behaviour and human patterns of society at large have led me to believe these notions, that if hell were to actually exist, we might just be living in it - consumed by priorities that are not universal and at that level may seem selfish and living within spaces and relationships that confuse us with the very idea of truth. Here's why I believe Earth could just be hell or at the very least an illusion of it.
1. Bad things are always happening:
Bad things are always happening, to people we know, we hear of, to our immediate surroundings - there's health issues and there's continuous destruction and hunger and thirst and so much pain - those are things associated predominantly with hell. Life could be beautiful, but hell or its effects bring about these harmful pain and suffering, why do we need to accept that as part of life?
What I'm trying to say is, we accept that life has ups and downs, but there's always something bad or downward and people are always worried - why does life need to be such if its not a punishment?
2. Karma is a bitch
Perhaps people associate the occurrences of bad in light of people's past or history and that's where the idea of karma comes in - to suffer what you may have reaped. But, where does on suffer the misdeeds they might have done - they suffer in hell. That we're getting paid back for what we did is usually an idea of hell.
3. Heaven and Life
The paintings and idea of heaven are always wonderful and dreamlike and if we were in a regular middle ground we would experience that too, but guess what apart from landscapes that you've never been to you've only seen these ideas in images and paintings and even if you may have claimed to have been to these wonderful heaven-on-earth place you were struggling with something at that time, the lack of water, the passing away of a friend, the disappearance of some belonging or at the very least some physical pain.
So even if you see something mesmerisingly beautiful, you're suffering.
4. Destruction
So sure death is natural, but when there's mass death and mass destruction around you, people, things, animals, plants - it paints a pretty bad picture of earth doesn't it?
Now here's what you might contradict saying - that death, suffering, pain, troubles are all a part of life and perhaps is the payment for the original sin, or came to us because of some lady with a box - that this is part of life on Earth, but if we're sent here to suffer how is this not Hell? How is this in any way different?
That it has beauty and hope and love, could be its illusions and traps to hold us here and never let us go 'beyond' or above - that we're trapped here in this life on this Earth to suffer and make ourselves believe that we have a chance to be happy here.
And suppose all this that I said were true, I guess we're making a pretty good deal out of suffering, we're reading articles by strange teenagers in distant lands, we're watching moving images of spellbindingly beautiful but made up people and places and we're leading a life of desires - its a good way to suffer in hell I'd say.
