Punishment

So, I wanted to write about something I was writing about at the hospital. The concept of punishment, and how it relates to hell.

What is the purpose of punishment? Some people do not understand the purpose of punishment. The true purpose of punishment is to CORRECT BEHAVIOR. So, your kid gets in a fight with his brother, or something. You punish him. Is it because he DESERVES TO SUFFER? No. You are trying to teach your child.

That is the whole purpose of negative feelings that happen on purpose. The purpose is to teach.

So is hell a punishment? Well, hell is eternal and there is no coming back from hell, so there is no way for people to learn from their bad behavior and make it better. So it is not a punishment.

Why do we send people to prison? There are two reasons we send people to prison. One is to correct behavior. The other is because they are a menace to society and they need to be removed. It is not to make them suffer. It is to remove them from society.

The only time people deserve pain is if it's going to help them learn.

So anyway, what I am trying to say is, souls that are sent to hell on purpose, they are like prisoners who  need to be removed from society. These souls are a menace to other souls so they need to be cast out. Because these souls are dangerous and threaten the well-being of other souls.

And that's how things are.
