Everybody's talking about it

Heaven and Hell

We don't know, we can only hope, and act as though we have an idea where we want to be. I believe Heaven and Hell exist, but I don't presume to know God's mind as to who is, or is going, where.

Others would find it a different sort of hell as they'd be stuck with that ego but with no one else to give them the adulation they seek. No one know the answer, least of all me...
