The inevitability of hell
It is revolting, all that filthinessof self-indulgent crimes and orgies in the dark,
the attractiveness of lust and evil
and the violence of extremism with brutal outbursts
emanating in the hopeless snake pit of the world,
and there is nothing wrong with that natural order.
Darkness is inevitable as the reason and the origin of light,
and you will need it now and then for some purification,
discipline and education of your soul's sustainability,
just as there is no better and more basic cause of life than death.
You need it for the shadow of the sun
which burns you out, exhausts you and consumes you
by demanding constant unrest, work and diligence.
Thus death becomes the most important medicine and therapy of life,
and hell is actually no less than a resort and rehabilitation.
