im definitely one of those folks who believes the ideas of heaven and hell are just metaphors for the good and bad parts of life. if u do good shit ur generally going to make ur surroundings nicer, making ur next day more like heaven. im sure back in the day when a village only had 50 ppl in it it was that much more tru. nowadays this stuff isnt really as relevant.

over the years thru selfishness we have complicated things alot. people get lonely so that have big families. people dont want to work as hard so they improve technology. these changes only improve the life of one generation, then the next one is accustomed to it all and has to deal with the negative shit. so they continue the process. the more diseases we cure the more nasty mutations and cancers sho up. people used to get killed from infections, now we got thousands of ppl dying every day from car crashes.
