Walking With Him Until I Am Not

Hell or Heaven

Given the essay “Designer of Audio CD Packaging Enters Hell”, Steve Martin implies that whoever invents products (e.g., the CD package, computer manuals or even the pineapple) that are frustrating to use deserves his or her own “special hell”. All of us sometimes feel frustrated or upset if someone or something brings trouble or inconvenience upon us. That is the battle you are fighting. On the contrary, We may enjoy being with a person or being satisfied with a product we have purchased, in which case we ascend to heaven in appreciation of its contentment or enjoyment.

So to this entry you’ll describe your own “hell” or “heaven” with a thing, place or person.

    In my impression, heaven is a place where is very warm and wonderful. Therefore, whenever I went my hometown to accompany with my parents, I felt I just like came to the heaven. My mother would prepare much delicious food to me because she was afraid that the food I ate was not very nutrition in Taipei. My father would buy much kind of fruits to me in order to make me healthier. Furthermore, my family and I would go to different places to enjoy the outside landscapes. All in all, my parents do lots of things for me whenever I went home; therefore, I think the best heaven is my hometown even the embrace of my parents.

    On the condition that I am carefree and have no burden, everywhere could be the heaven. For examle, after I finishing mid-term exams, even if just stay at home and I also would feel like I am in the heaven. Because I have nothing to worry or nothing sould finish immediately in a deadline. On the contrary, if I have a lot of works or plans should accomplish, even in a amusement park, I wouldn’t have fun.So if I am happy and free from restraint, everywhere is as nice as heaven.

    When I have free time to do what I like, I just feel like in heaven; if I have lots of things to do and feel frustrated or stressful, just like in the hell. I feel like in the hell recently because the mid-term is coming, and I still have not finished my studies.I hope the mid-term will pass soon, then I could be in the heaven.

    I think heaven it’s a place without trouble. For example,you find out a place where make you happy or a person you want to stay with, and it is heaven. However, I’m not luck enough to find this place or person; therefore, I don’t understand what feels like in heaven. Only thing I know is what feels like in hell, because I live in it now. Nothing but painful.

    A Class could be a Heavn or Hell, it depends on myself. Few weeks ago,the lazyness streched out
    from my mind that gets me feeling dull after awake on my bed.I decided to take a rest in that whole day
    ,but I can’t even imagine the other week I could do the same things again.Absents happened to me again,the assignmnts and the absents are accumulating higher and higher; pressure gathered until the day I started slove these problems.
    But, it seems a kind of punishment to me. As I was donig those assignments,cough,stuffing norse,and muscles pain came with fever to me.
    However, it gets me realized waht should be the definition of heaven or hell. If I did the whole assignments on time,arrived on time and to attend
    the quiz on time. Everythings could be fine and could enjoy learning in the class joyfully.
    Living in Heaven or Hell it’s up to everyone else,it is base on the things what have you ever done, how much efforts have you ever paid.

    In my opinion, heaven can be anything. Things, people,or place.Just like without stress,go to place you like,or be with the people you like.Heaven could be easy! For me, go out withmy lover or lovely friends, even just walk,it can be my heaven!The other side, hell could be easy,too.If we always in bad mood or angry with whole world,then everything coukd be hell.
    When I always without money,and desire more than imagation, but I can`t do anything.It is really in a hell!!

    What I think that heaven represents my family. They can give me comfort and advices no matter what kind of trouble I meet. It is happy and relaxes to stay with my family. Talking about hell, the hell represents something or someone you can not bear. For example: If I have to make friends with someone I really hate, then the hell appears. If I have to go to a place where I don’t even want to go, then the hell appears.

    To me, I think I go to heaven all the time. I can be happy by just a little thing. For example: hang out with my dear friends, a big hug from my boy friend, have dinner with my family…etc. On the other side, hell is a terrible place. I don’t like hell, but sometimes I went there and couldn’t find the way to get out. It happened when I met difficulty and have no idea to solve the problem. It makes me feel exhausted.

    I think the heaven present for me is mp3. i’m a girl who loves music very much, i can’t live without it. so i go anywhere with my mp3 every day. when i’m walking alone on the street, i’d like to put on my headset and turn the music into the loudest. listening to the music makes me feel happy every day. so i must have to thaks for the inventer. And about the hell stuff, i think it should be money!! money makes people become greedy. some people even rob or murder. that makes this society into a mess. so i think money is really not a good thing.

    Heaven can be everything. For example, I like to search any kinds of delicious food on the internet. I would read the comments from other people who have already eaten, if the commonts are the good side, I would go there to eat with my family, That is one of my so-called heaven. On the other hand, no pressure, no homework, no fighting, no wars, and no bad guys; I consider it is also a heaven.

    When I am in the heaven, I can share joyful and delight things with people I love. When I am in the heaven, I won’t hear about terrible news. When I am in the heaven, I can read book I like and enjoy it. When I am in the heaven, I can throw all my trouble away and enjoy the fantastic time with my family and friends.

    While I stayed home and did all things by myself. That kind of comfortable feeling made me feel in heaven. Because no one could bother me and I did not to hide anything. Instead of heaven, I always felt depressed when the things out of control, for instance, the grades and the friendship. Sometimes I got problems or misunderstanding about theses things. Therefore, it made me felt like in hell.

    Staying at home and doing whatever I want may be my happiest thing in my life. Staying with my family, talking to them, having fun with them may be my happiest thing in my life and this is called “Heaven”; however, what is “Hell” to me? It is when I am in bad luck , when I am feeling depressed or when I got into trouble and have no idea about it, it is called “Hell”.

    In my mind, i always remember a story about hell, if you leave you rice in you bowl, you’ll go to hell and eat the kictch waste every day. and another atory is in the heaven the angel feed each other, but in the hell, everybody eat by themselve, but they can’t eat, beacause the chopsticks are too long to eat the food. So in my mind, i only knowthe “heaven” is beauty, but the “hell” is horror.

    I am a person who needs enough sleep. When I stay up late for my assignments, the next day I wake up I will feel in the hell. I will feel tired and light-headed. It’s really a kind of torture for me.

    For me, I am like in the heaven if I get others’ identificationno matter it’s on friendship or
    study. on the other hand, if I have to take the courses I do not like, it seems like a hell for me.

    To me, hell is not only the pain but also the things suffering me very much. In the other hand, paradise is a place which makes me feel more comfortable and pleasant. Home is the paradise, because it is warmer and the love between parents and children is valuable than everything in the world.

    When I have free time, without exam or pressures, I think I am in Heaven. Because Heaven must be no worried things to bother me. However, if I think myself in Hell, it must someone hurt my family. I can’t see my family feeling pain because I am also feeling pain as same as them. As I seeing them unhappy because of feeling pain, my heart bleeds for my family. I consider that thing just make me feeling in Hell.

    For me, some small things are enough thking me to the heaven. Just like hang out with close friends, be with my lover or just stay home with my dear family. These people can make me feel really comfortable and relax, just like in the beautifal heaven. But when there comes a lot of things should do but I don’t have so many time, I feel stressful. At this situation, just like in the hall.

    I think heaven is a place without illness and troubles. There are teeming with happiness and hope. People there don’t have to think too much, just do they want to do. They don’t need to worry somthing is going to happen or any troubles. However, I think that hell is totally different. I image there is cold, dark and hopeless. You have many things to worry and everything seem like difficult to solve.

    For me, as soon as I eat delicious food, I think that moment is my heaven. It is very easy for me because any food with appropriate seasoning, I mean, even the most common food can satisfy me.
    Hell, for me, is the place makes me feel disgusting or uncomfortable. For example, the room with one cockroach. That definitely is the hell.

    For me, I think the people make me think of paradise are required of sense of responsibility. On the other side, the people make me think of hell are not responsible for what they have done. Like if they skipping class, thel’ll stick around you for asking you what had happened form the class they skipped. I think it’s what you have decided and you should be responsible for what you have done, not others!

    For me, I think whenever I listend to the music, it is the happiest time I have. Because I am always busy at doing my job and schoolworks. There is so less time I can have. That means I do not really have my own free time. Everytime when I listend to my i-pod, I felt so relaxed.Just like I am in the heaven.

    If I can get together with my dear family and friends, wherever is a heaven for me.
    When I get together with them, I can put all my unhappiness away.

    In my opinion, spending time with someone I love is like in the heaven. When getting involve in the familiar environment, I feel at my ease and comfortable. It is because I can do or say anything without scrupling others’ feeling. I don’t have to worry about he or she will upset because they know me. On the other hand, gettint along with strangers will make me nervous as in the hell. I am not only feel uncomfortable but leave as quick as possible.

    For me, when I get along with someone I love, it is just like in the heaven. Also, getting involve in an familiar environment makes me feel comfortable. I don’t have to worry about that what I said would make someone upset because we know and realize each other much and do all the things I want. On the other hand, when I am in a strange environment and meet strangers, this will make me feel nervous and uneasy. It is just like in the hell.
