Heaven too.

True.

🫂

I think about this quote often.

It's true and it isn't, because solitary confinement is hell too.

Only after a few days probably. Time matters.

Man is a social animal. Even people that like to be alone, wouldn't like to be all alone. Other people can be hell, but the alternative is what, madness?

Given what we know of the author — he was not nice, or a good person, or wise — I think it more likely that he found other people hellish only because of the hell already within him!

So heaven must be within? I like that. I can work with that.

the worst that can be when there are

1 person: boring

2 persons: hate or love

3 persons: hell, hell, hell

Jean Paul Sartre

Hello or heaven it's all in our mind. But yeah I also prefer to spend my time with bitcoiners aka people who value freedom, self sovereignty etc.

"Heven is other people" too thankfully.

You know it's often taken (understood) out of context?

He explains it in this essay

Sartre had a point... 🤦‍♂️
