17. Hell isn't on Earth
Tue Apr 14, 2026, 10:35 PM
Apr 14

It exists in the mind. But to me it is temporal.

The Earth is full of so many beauties and so much wonder that it can not be justifiably called hell. It is our Eden.

Hell is the feeling that is left after you've sold your soul for pennies and lived long enough to see your own people betray you.
