Random Thoughts

"Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joys of Heaven
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?"
The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus
Act I Scene 3 lines 75-79
This is the most moving line of literature I have read this semester, and possibly my lifetime. Mephistophilis description of Hell makes one wonder what one's Hell would be? What is the everlasting joy of your life, that in being deprived of that joy, you would fall into eternal desperation and desolation? I feel that mine would be losing those couple of friends that have surpassed that level of love and loyalty that transports them from friends to family of the soul. I can't live without a couple of my girls that get me. I know that phrase "get me" is retarded but its true. So best friend I dedicate this to you. When I am being super obnoxious and needy, you tell me to shut the hell up and get over it. When I need a good fight, you scream and yell at me and withme like no one else. When I just really need to hate someone, you are right there with me talking about them and using your ever so amazing skill to cut down everything about them. You letme be weird without letting me be a freak and you make college so awesome. I love you.

Now, onto God. This statement about hell really pisses me off, as well as inspiring thought in me. What self-loving, self-worshipping deity demands that you telepathically give your life to them or else your eternity will be filled with heart ache and desolation. Obviously, this demon speaking about hell has repented of joining an uprising and don't we all make mistakes? But you, oh angry, jealous God of the Judeo-Christian religions, well continue to punish him for eternity because you got your feelings hurt. So dear Lord, please stop your bitching, you little tit bag, and climb down from your freakin high horse, and abolish Hell. Thank you.
