Sore Throat With Blood In Mucus

Heaven and Hell in a piece of Eschatology and mystic Simone Weil

.
To nature we seek pleasure and escape suffering. It 's just why the joy is in the image of the good and the bad image of the pain. Hence the imagery of heaven and hell. But in fact, in our life, pleasure-pain are an inseparable pair.
.
There are already down here almost infernal pains and pleasures almost hellish, there are almost divine joys and sufferings almost divine.
.
Perhaps the moment of death, a multitude of divine joy and endless pain pure holy soul come together making it explode and disappear in the fullness of being, while the damned soul dissolves into thin air with a Joint di orrore e di orribile compiacimento.
.
Simon Weil, Quaderni , volume III, Adelphi, Milano 1988, p. 207.
