Learning to love, despite life in hell.

I wonder. About fates worse than death. Yes, there must be. That’s why people choose suicide. They’d rather be dead than alive.  Amazing, isn’t it? I’m in love. With life. But I can imagine situations in which death is the preferable alternative to aliveness. And there’s a possibility that death isn’t death. Merely a passage to another form of life. Endless life. For some, that may be scary. The inability to die.  To be cursed to everlasting life. In hell. Cruel and unusual punishment. That raises another question. Can one adjust to hell?  And learn to love. Despite life in hell.  –Jim Broede
