Akira the Don and Jordan Peterson - Heaven and Hell, Pt. 1

I think that you can get glimpses of Heaven and glimpses of Hell
I think that you can see people who live in Hell; you walk down the street and see them
For them it's eternal because their pain is so overwhelming that it feels like it will last forever
It's also something that can engulf everyone, and has
Is there a metaphysical reality to it beyond that?
I suspect so but I don't know
I think that the Heaven-like experience points to the way that things could be
And we don't know how things could be if we really got our acts together; we don't know
We spend a lot of time in our fallen condition wasting time
Being resentful, working counterproductively, hurting other people, and cursing fate itself
Even doing all that we've managed to make societies that are pretty functional and decent
If we spent 100% of our time working towards the good
Instead of 50% of our time, or perhaps 51%, God only knows what we can bring about
And the sky's the limit and then once we reach the limit of the sky
There's a sky beyond that would then be the limit and so on and so forth
And so

I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it
But we're not going to do that by changing the behaviour of other people
I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it.
But we're not going to do that by changing the behaviour of other people
