“L’enfer, c’est les autres” - Jean-Paul Sartre

Hell is other people. It's true, it must be those whom you’ve suffered with long and hard in this thing called life. Yes, it’s those other people who are ever cynical, critical, judgmental, and scornful of all things. It’s those who never see the brilliance of a snowflake in the sun or the beauty in a weed’s blossom. No, hell is not only occupied by evil ones, it’s also full of those who find no joy in existence, those who are never satisfied with enough, and those who are hellbent on living in a realm of negativity.

Then perchance, you should stop. Pause and slowly choose to look in the mirror, peering into the depth of the face reflected therein. You may find that you, too, are in fact a factor in the hell you so dislike. The vast array of actions you scorn in others may also, and very likely, be held tight within your own grasp - and utilized more frequently than not. Careful, lest you become him who leaves such a bitter taste in your mouth or him whom you so loathe.

Yes, hell is other people, but it’s also you. Can you decidedly manipulate yourself and create change to ensure the prospect more heaven exceeds the hell, at least in your own realm of existence? In choosing this difficult path, perhaps your actions will brilliantly reflect to perpetuate a turnaround in others. The effects of such might be surprising and dynamic in multiple worlds. For life, you see, is much of what you intend it to be.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." William Shakespeare
