What makes you think that after we die, we go to “hell” or “heaven?” Sure, that’s what they supposedly say in these “books,” but what if we have it all wrong? What if you died somewhere, and now your punishment is to serve your life sentence on this place called Earth? What if to be born and live life on Earth IS the hellish punishment? After all, we’ve got famine, plague, droughts, floods, poverty, pain, murder, jealousy, injustice, hate, etc etc.

Everyday. Why are we tortured by everything we can’t have? It seems everyone looks around to things that they want and can’t get. Loving couples who would make the greatest parents, mocked by idiots having kids in the double digits.
People who want love and a relationship forced into a life of solitude not of their own choosing. Or watch the person of their dreams go with someone who repulses the way they treat them.
This place is hell / purgatory whatever. It sure isn’t a ‘life is what make you it bs’ statement.
I don’t think it’s a place to learn or grow. I think it’s a fucking punishment. Maybe this place wasn’t supposed to be like this originally. Maybe original sin is true.
I’m in the slightly pessimistic camp myself on what earth is, or supposed to be. I don’t think changing my view to a positive one will make my reality change to be indeed ‘positive’
Yes but then why do some people have it so good? I use to think this was some kind of hell but then again there are other people on earth who have everything, looks, fame, money, love.
I don’t think even some of the people who ‘seem’ to have it good, actually are happy inside. Like celebs for instance, they’ve got problems with the press hounding them and their lives under scrutiny etc In fact when a lot of celebs do interviews, they say they’d just like to be normal peop!e.
What i mean is, no matter what walk of life you come from, it’s never enough what you have. Like if you were paralysed, i imagine you’d love to walk again amd would trade quite a bit to have that again (I know people adapt and still lead full lives)
You’ve got the rich, but they never seemed satisfied. They really need more and seem genuinly worried and paranoid about losing their wealth / possesions.
Maybe the problem is the grass is greener, everything seems better when your not in that situation? Maybe this is what human nature is – to be completetly unsatisfied no matter what we have? i don’t know mate. I wrote this last night having a piss and moan like i normally do.
I’m not sure if it’s hell. I’ve been thinking a lot today, especially after reading other ppls comments here on positivity. I’m probably looking at everything all wrong and i know it’s easier in this life to see the bad. You’re right though, some people have it good. But i don’t think it’s those who ‘seem’ to have it good (wealth, looks , etc) i think it those who are satisfied i guess.
lol, re reading this it looks like i don’t answer the question properly. fuck it, i’ll post it anyway. I usually write crap posts anyway, another one won’t make a difference.
I don’t think this can be the helish punishment already. Althugh live on earth feels as hell already, there are short moments of rest: moments we sleep without horrible dreams, moments we laugh and feel happy for a very short time. This hell on earth can be escaped if we find the courage to do that by ending our lives. I think the eternal hell is after this life, the place of eternal and unescapable torture, without a second of rest/hope/happiness. Do you expect to end up in eternal hell?
It’s just life. You come to live well or ‘hellish nightmare’ by pure chance only. Nothing more to it. No point and no reason. No heaven and no hell.
That is the basis of eastern religion/philosophy. By burning off your bad karma and getting yourself some good karma you can escape and get to a better planet (or less hellish circumstances on this one). There are also more hellish planets according to the philosophy. You are in a jail but the doors aren’t locked. Watching the flickering images on the wall of the cave when you could just leave the cave (Plato’s allegory of the cave). I don’t totally agree but I find it a comfort sometimes. Sort of. I don’t like the idea that it could go on for thousands of lifetimes.
