Palsie! don juan was a literary character, but his name is soon used to describe philanderers? ha ha you, don juan. you hearthrob, you! my friends are so killing me.
today was uneventful, save for the 4/5/6/7/8 km walk from school to macritchie reservoir which was an utter.. waste of time. the whole time hweeying huiying and i just played stupid games like listing names starting with A or S or C or M or something. and we insulted a few people. kind of made my day. after which hweeying and i went to coro to eat laksa (again) when are we losing weight?
i'm afraid of Hell. i don't know why i have been so consumed by the thought of being condemned in Hell lately. haha i havent done anything particularly bad recently. (anyone who knows pls refresh my memory). i haven't, in fact, for a long long time. when was the last time i did something bad? a sin enough to put me away in Hell? i know of some people who've committed more deadly sins. i would let them vicariously feel the heat of Hell in my place?
I read, and Dante said that there are 8 Circles of Hell in his Inferno. the first, is for people who are punished for they lack faith. guilty as charged. the second circle, for people blown away by lust in their lifetimes (i'm not guilty yet, but jiawen watch out hahaha). third circle, contains the gluttons. not in the literal sense of the word (haha youre thinking what im thinking?) but, those who are gluttons for information. i'm guilty, again. the fourth circle guards those whose desire for material deviates from the desired intention. Ditto. the fifth circle is just a passageway to the lower levels of hell, which generally punishes people who committed active sins rather than the abovementioned passive sins. the sixth circle .. well within the sixth circle are heretics, people who oppose the ideological and religious authority of the Catholic church (ok i'm in!). Seventh circle houses the violent- those against people and property, suicide committers, and those who are violent against art, nature and last but definitely not least, against God.
the Eighth ring punishes:
a) Seducers
b) Flatterers - a classmate of mine had better watch out
c) those who pay their way to get an authoritative position
d) Sorcerers
e) Corrupt politicians
f) Hypocrites (oh no!)
g) Thieves
h) Fraudulent advisors
i) Sowers of discord
j) All sorts of falsifiers (counterfeiters, alchemists etc)
The Last circle, the Ninth, condemns traitors. in whom faith and trust have been bestowed upon.
I wonder if we'll meet in Hell, you and i?
