Hell is a creeping evolutionary parasite. Like all things that prey on neglected spaces, it takes hold in a small way and starts to spread, taking hold millimeter by millimetre over many generations. Unsightly blemishes on the skin of reality, isolated spots that grow and throw out tendrils of influence. Eventually, the spots meet and become a system. The system ultimately takes over, transforming the world completely, so that it is unrecognisable from the past.
We have always had two visions to work with, and it has been up to us which we gravitate towards. We could have made paradise, or we could have cooked up hell. Its all man-made, and nature. The acts of men we are responsible for, the acts of nature we often are not, but how we respond to them indicates which way we gravitate.
We're building hell. We don't seem to be able to stop. Each of these massacres accelerates the idea of massacre, promotes it, projects it as real possibility. It is a manifestation, and it gives life to other ideas in other minds, throwing out tendrils which take root and grow.
The impossibility of this horror becomes normalised. We accept it a little bit more with each horror, until we see horror as the everyday, just as many societies around the world already do. Children exist and grow with a matter-of-fact acceptance of unspeakable evil. Its not possible for the children of those systems of evil to operate within any other system or language. The system grows.
Welcome to hell.
