You are mortal. You age, you die. If that is not hell, pray

Summary

This quote suggests that the inherent nature of mortality, characterized by the process of aging and the eventual certainty of death, can be seen as a form of suffering or a metaphorical representation of hell. It challenges the idea that one's mortality is blissful and questions whether there could be anything more agonizing than the inevitability of our own end. It invites contemplation on the meaning of existence, emphasizing the existential struggle of being mortal and the potential unease it provokes.
