Who thinks we live in hell?

The amount of suffering, rape, murder, war and pain is unjustified. Maybe this is hell and we did something horrible in our last lives?

    Hell is perception. You live in Hell if you think you live in Hell. The beauty of nature is all around, if you'll just take the time to look for it. Hell is material, Hell is social, Hell is psychological. In the end, though, Hell is only what you make of it. Do the birds know Hell, or the otters? Do beavers build dams in Hell? Don't be so focused on the bad things that happen in life. Trust me - suffering, rape, war, and pain have been occurring (on a magnitude you probably wouldn't believe) ever since the first proto-humans scrabbled through African grasslands so many millennia ago. Nothing happening today is that unusual; we just learn about it faster than we used to.

    Well, let me tell you - I'll be glad when my time is up! And it's on to the next life and I hope that I've learned all that I was suppose to in this one! Also, I hope my fellow souls out there have learned their lessons they were suppose to in this life! You're right - when you look globally at the amount of suffering that's going on - it's too much at times. Then when you look at us here in the great USA; rape, murder, addiction, poverty, and oppression of all types - we just look better than most countries while we're doing these things (meaning physical appearances) - I afraid that we are doing something horrible in this life - forget our last life!

    Live is absolutly what we make out of it.Some may think this is hell.I believe it is an opportunity to grow my sprit.Everything we do is a spritual test.We will be judged on all of our life here so our reward will be according to our actions here ,in the next life.Which will be either Heaven or Hell?

    I don't even think this is a glimpse of what hell is like. In addition to all of the bad, there is far too much good. There won't be any good hell what so ever. I sure don't want to go there.

    With the tonnes of people I gather evidence against in my profession (I'm a photographer for a private investigation agency) and the way they deny their crimes even after we present them with indisputable evidence of their crimes (photos, recordings, you name it) the way they still lie through their teeth makes the job HELL. We say "We know you did it why don't you admit it?" But the seem to think that lying about it makes them look innocent. Talk about silly!

    Now that's HELL.

    I used to think that until I met JESUS and now He takes care of me and guides my steps. All that is happening out there is to make Himself known through the ministry of others to assist these people who will allow the Holy Spirit to step in and love them. Those that aren't fortunate to have someone are learning a life lesson and building character. God uses so many things to help us through that He even changes the terrible things to good in order to glorify Himself.

    Certainly God is not happy with what is happening in the world - children starving in Africa, civilians being caught in the crossfire in Lebanon and Israel and Somalia, Afhganistan, Irag, corruption in the government, insensitive leaders. All these are because of greed. People are forgetting to love, to care, to share and to be fair.

    The actual concept of hell is, total chaos, the absence of order. Trust me if we were living in hell, we would because instantly insane, the human mind is not designed to operate in total chaos.

    Not sure. On the worst days I find comfort in what Winston Churchill said during the blitz: "If you are going through hell, keep going!"
