Hell is being in a relationship you can't stand and not knowing how the fuck to get out of it.

Smith, I understood what you meant - it actually made me laugh. The capitalisation is like a bad marketing exercise: talk about obvious advertising techniques

. Hell is also a blatant unsubtle message: partly why I cannot stand television. All the commercials... they're like everything is capitalised.

If that Angel episode had been true there wouldn't even need to be vampires and monsters in it. If people are all the evil that is required in the universe why do these other creatures exist? He kind of shoot himself in the foot applying that logic as the great reveal if you ask me.

I disagree. Using that logic is like saying "If there are tigers in the jungle, what's the need for lions?"

In Whedon's universe, vampires aren't inherently evil, neither are werewolves or demons. They make a choice just like humans do. It's just they are supernatural in origin. In many Angel episodes, he had dealings with demons who, just like humans, wanted to be left alone to simply exist. Some killed innocents, because they wanted to. Others joined the fight against those types.

Back on topic before I get too hot. There's a play by Sartre: "Hell is other people." ("L'enfer, c'est les autres.")

Once you know the title of the play, you don't need to either read or watch it. The message is in the title. Compact existentialism or WOT?

Hell is other people... pretty fucking depressing if you ask me, and what a limited message, but he had something there... put a blonde bimbo ditz who killed her baby, an angry murderous lesbian and a cowardly soldier who grassed on his comrades during the Spanish Civil War in a salon with an ugly statue on the fireplace mantel piece, a single bulb hanging from the ceiling that's impossible to switch off, two loveseats, and a locked door: that is hell, for Sartre.

Why do we even believe there could be a world better or worse than this? What if earth became better than heaven would that make heaven hell if so who'd want to die?
The dream of a better place suggests that religion needs the earth to be partially hellish.

Hell - still being married.

no cats or dogs or parrots
no chocolate
eternal sore feet
no books
having to watch daytime tv 24/7
disco music
no sense of purpose
envy
being chased by an unseen enemy
having ums that never grew up
being 23 for eternity

Hell is a place that can not be turned back from, regardless of how much one realizes they didn’t mean to get themselves there.

Everything is experience in the extreme, so that nothing is pleasurable.

The screaming of suffering is piercing, and without end. Not even in dying; for dying only gives cause for rebirth, and the opportunity to experience it all over again.

It is where hate thrives and love is lost; forever.

I love this topic.

If people can imagine hell, maybe they can imagine heaven!

Heaven or hell, it's all transcient, and in the mind.

Actually, it is whatever each of us CHOSES to believe it is.

I don't think anyone on earth is an authority on heaven or hell.

Unless of course, you created the universe.

Since neither heaven nor hell actually exists no one can be you are correct.
