Sartre

Hell is other people
Jean-Paul Sartre once said.. long ago.
For years I thought that he ment that what we may percieve as hell we find in actions or words of other people that are aimed toward us. That the hell we go thru periodically in our lives, is caused by those 'other people'.
Well. Actually it doesn't work that way. Hell is other people. It's about how we see ourselves thru their eyes. It's how we see them and how we let other know about it.
There are many kinds of hell, as there are many kinds of people.
And I don't only mean Dante's inferno and different levels that traitors, thieves and unfaithful "fit" but the general definition of what is hell to us.
Sometimes I think this place, this planet might be hell of some other planet.
Maybe there are no planets, dimentions for which we could be hell and everything can be found right here. If you believe in karma and life after life.. Maybe you suffer in this life cause you did something wrong in the previous one? Who knows.
