Hell

 Some have said that hell is absolute self-absorption.  You are a fiercely self-centered person.  The hell is that you become an internal bickering machine with yourself and others.  Nothing is going right most of the time.  In your imagination you confront persons with your righteous fury.  So much anger is exhausting.  And it seems to have no place to go.  And it can numb deeper feelings.  Spiritual paths respond to this with the “suggestion” of self-surrender.  To what?  Something or someone other than you who has some power you seem to lack.  Religions, recovery programs, mediations, yoga, all focus on this letting go.  It beats hell.
