Hell is "DARKNESS VISIBLE"

Well, here I am. Much of the time, I am silent but the last time I was up above--in the real world as some people call it--I was watching a talk show, sitting around with my mother and her friends and someone was talking about depression, calling it "anger towards inward."

That really made me think. A lot of people down here seem depressed. Maybe that's why they call this place hell.

We all look at each other. We're too polite to tell each other that we "look like hell." Instead, we talk earnestly with each other, but not about things that really matter.

How many people will be tossed up to the lions up above? What is the best way to make a lion really hungry so they will devour their prey as quickly as possible and put on a good show for all the rest of us?

How is the River Styx Beautification Campaign going? Will the local politicians succeed in convincing people that their contributions will make things more pleasant for them when they arrive to the Underworld?

This is really a very serious question. Down here what we know is that the contributions that the people up above make to the River Styx campaign will not make any difference in how we treat them when the up above people come down here, but the up above people aren't supposed to know that when they are alive.


And who is my Uncle Zeus seducing now and will the new concubine legislation that Athena and Hera have been lobbying for be passed?
