HOKER, SOR, HERES ZE THING…. (Anyone who gets that reference, HUGE digi-hi five to you)
. a that time of my last reply the if we disagree so be it didnt really register in my mind so i presented a counter point. accidental and did not intend confusion or anything else
Suggesting there is such a thing as hell implies there is such a thing as heaven.
If we don't agree, then so be it.

If you're in a third world country and have no source of income and struggle to survive in harsh environments then I can see that being hell, but if I'm Beyonce and living way past my needs in my multi-million dollar mansion then I would see that as more of a heaven.

Wowwie, you are entirely relating comfort of this reality to materialistic concepts. You think Beyonce is happy living in her mansion, surrounded by her things. I seriously doubt that.
I have spent a great deal of time in third world countries, among the harsh environments you speak of, and i have to say from my own experience that the people that live are a great deal happier than those in the western world.
A friend on mine once met Mother Theresa, and he asked her what the biggest problem in the world today was, expecting her to answer with something like, the starving in Africa, or the homeless children in India.
But she responded in saying "the desperation of the Western world!"

End of the world.
Am I right?
To keep to the topic; I believe that, alike light and darkness, heaven and hell can exist metaphorically within each of us.
