It’s forbidden to despair of the world. Why? Because the world might become the Kingdom of God.

 

We think it has to be like this, the world. We think we have to suffer dereliction. But what we don’t see is the dereliction of our dereliction: the fact that it’s a contingent problem – don’t you see?

 

We fetishise suffering, right? We regard is as spiritually purifying, even now – even after the death of God, or whatever.

 

Hell is the best place to find salvation.

Who said that? Did you make it up?
