If you want to see hell,turn on the world news and let them show you country's where it has'nt rained in years so they can't grow food,therefore they starve,seeing that there corupt leaders keeps whatever foods that may come in from other countrys for themselfs.Have you seen the babies with there bellies like basketballs and flys in their eyes,now thats HELL...

Thanks for putting this question out here for us to contemplate.  My life seems pretty hellish most of the time, too.  There are lots of disappointments, challenges beyond my abilities, heartaches, and countless jabs coming from all directions.  The good stuff lasts about as long as a soap bubble, then vanishes, leaving what amounts to a teardrop behind. (that was so poetic, I may have to run with it later on my own).

This life of mine IS hell, and I DO have Jesus in my life, in my heart, and as my salvation. So, what keeps me from drowning in this hellhole of an existence is God's promise of eternal life in Heaven.  Jeremiah 29:11 also keeps me going.  It helps me remain optimistic and hopeful, in spite of all the garbage that runs through the river of my life, polluting it with stuff that might pull someone under.....I say my anti-depressant keeps my head above water, but I have to do the treading underneath.....my faith keeps me going/treading.

My pastor tells me that this life on earth is the only hell I will ever know because when I die at the end of it, I will find myself in Heaven.  I really hope you explore the gift God has for you in the form of Jesus Christ (forgiveness, salvation, eternal life,  for starters).  Life will still be difficult and disappointing too much of the time, but it is so much easier to tolerate when you know you are trudging through it with JC by your side. (and I am NOT a fanatic or extremely knowledgable Christian, just someone who knows she wants to stumble through this life with Christ)

life  what you make of it 

Hey shattuck, a few months have passed since the question so I have to ask if things are a little brighter for you. I really hope things are working out in your life, you deserve to be as happy as me;)

Every one generates their own circumstances by what they think.  For the only power that Spirit has in this world is the power of thought weilded through men.  Thinking is creative therefore so is Spirit creative.  This gift of Spirit, of all the animals, was gifted by God to man alone, reflected by his freewill.  Therefore by ones own thoughts, in ignorance or knowledge does one create ones own joy or sorrow.

Thus is ones situation or circomstances the direct result of what one has thought throughout  ones life up to this present time.  If one is happy one is doing it right.  If not one has but to change ones attitude and outlook on life, only then will better circumstances emerge; happiness be realized.  Therefore be good, be well, think a good thoughts create a perfect condition.  For every thought great or small has impact.  ;-)    

what does "complex" mean? lt depends who u ask. An engine ear will say its a group of built structures adapted for local use.Sheik Spear wd say elaborate or intricate.psycologists say its a mental fixation or obssession on some identifiable thing or issue.

lt seems to me in a sense that if an architect had an elaborate fixation about intricate building complexes and if this fixation was complicated then he has a complex complex complex complex!

A fire the other night claimed the lives of a mother & 5 of her children here in Brisbane.The father who escaped is left with 2 daughters.In total 11 lives were lost in that fire.That is hell for that poor family.Don't concentrate on your own problems so much.There is always someone who is doing it a little bit tougher.Try to look at what you have rather than what you don't have.

Because you think it is!

Indeed, Benthere, for Spirit is Life, Life is the very Presence of God, whether realized or not.  The Spirit is His ever present Power; His Divine Will, freely given to  man, reflected in man in understanding or by his ignorance.  Indeed, God has given His children all power by thought, focused or idle.  The wayward,  possessed, haunted by the ego of personality, the pretender, this is Hell.  They have yet to come to the realization of this Divine Awareness found only with.  Let them receive it who can.  Amen
