A Hellish Speculation
A hellish Speculation. Dan Boone shares a thought about the eternity you want to miss.
“I once heard hell described as a flat, gray plain where humans would forever be moving away from each other toward isolation. It is a place where the self-sovereignty that our [egoism] seeks is finally rewarded in a little isolated kingdom where there is no one left to use, manipulate or coerce. Hell is infinite and utter loneliness.”
“We create hell on earth when we drive humans into isolated camps.”
Dan Boone, Treveccan August 2018, pg 6
