Nothing should make you regret your life choices more than the thought of being stuck for eternity with other people like yourself. My take on Sartre's "No Exit".
Knowing history is fun. Unraveling humanity's tangled and twisted threads that weave it together? Funner. Sadly, there is MORE to this. Hell can be a very interesting place to spend eternity.
{A} Let's face it. Every President ends up in Hell. The sins of office will always far outweigh any good accomplished as citizens. It's the price they pay for service. Or corruption.
I enjoy chaos. It's an opportunity to learn, grow - find yourself. I once moved 300+ miles for a promotion. On my first day? Hiring boss tells me it's his LAST day. And new boss hands me a book: Who Moved My Cheese?
To quote the Klingons. And my mom. TODAY is a good day to die. Artistically. I have lost all sense of purpose for these unwanted things. And frustration has mushroomed into a cloud of creative darkness. And? “And So It Goes”
Rejoice, my lost son. For all that is. Or was. Will be. Swallowed by the sea of time. As you. But a brief dint. To eons. Of quartz. Are consumed. Without worry. Without wares. Without sorrow. And. Forgotten.
I have died many deaths. Figuratively. Cocooning into a reincarnated self has been my way of “life”. As for whether that is living? I don’t know. But. Whatever it is. It’s a lonely journey. Waiting, waiting, waiting …
Once upon a time our priority was shelter, water, food. And? We were happy beings. But? We developed agriculture, civilization. So? We now desire meaning, purpose. Yay, logotherapy! Ribbit, ribbit, croak …
(b) Back to non-reality. Already in progress. If there is an afterlife, no matter where I end-up – I am not going to “fit in”. So. Then what? Where will I – a “phantom” – spend eternity after already suffering a lifetime of Hell?
It finds us all. First death. Then. Second death. It's basic math. About 100 billion humans have drawn breath. And the most famous that has ever lived might be known by 1% of them. As the chart of time progresses to the right – that will trend to zero. Eventually. Maybe. A handful of not-so-honest biographers dedicated to exposing your secrets ... will remember your name.
Two takeouts with one order? Haha. It's a birds and stones thing. Anyways. The joke? Satan has a place to get good soup and Yev Kassem receives his perfect eternal punishment. Funny fact. I have a connection to THIS classic Seinfeld episode – from my long-since-died-a-horrible-death – first career.
A thing THIS be. What was Jack Torrance's eternal fate? I doubt he was doomed to a photograph. That would be silly. But the Overlook? Probably. And would that be so bad – haunting a luxury hotel? I guess it would come down to the food. Hmm. The dessert would need to be something ... to [redacted] for.
