"Hell is when you must think and feel and do everything that you know you do not want. Hell is knowing that your needing to is also a wanting to, and you yourself are responsible for it."
Post Body

"Hell is when you know that everything serious you have planned with yourself is also laughable, that everything fine is also brutal, that everything good is also bad, that everything high is also low, and that everything pleasant is also shameful.

But the deepest Hell is when you realize that Hell is also no Hell, but a cheerful Heaven; not a Heaven in itself, but in this respect a Heaven, and in that respect a Hell.

That is the ambiguity of the God: he is born from a dark ambiguity and rises to a bright ambiguity. Unequivocalness is simplicity and leads to death. But ambiguity is the way of life. If the left foot does not move, then the right one does, and you move. The God wills this.

You say the Christian God is unequivocal, he is love. But what is more ambiguous than love? Love is the way of life, but your love is only on the way of life if you have a left and a right.

Nothing is easier than to play at ambiguity, and nothing is more difficult than living ambiguity. He who plays is a child; his God grows old and dies. He who lives is awakened; his God is young and goes on. He who plays hides from inner death. He who lives feels the going onward and immortality. So leave the play to the players. Let fall what wants to fall; if you stop it, it will sweep you away. There is a true love that does not concern itself with neighbors."

C.G. Jung, The Red Book Reader's Edition, pg. 170
