HELL OF THE LIVING
"The hell of the living isn’t something that will be; if there is one, it’s the one that is already here, the hell we inhabit every day, which we form by being together.
There are two ways not to suffer from it. The first comes easy to many: to accept hell and become part of it to the point of no longer seeing it.
The second is risky and requires continuous attention and learning: to seek and be able to recognize who and what, amidst the hell, is not hell, and to make it last and give it space."
