The Present Moment Is Hell

Text on the meme

Is this hell? in what sense? the present moment is both eternal and painful in Hell, there is relief in utter helplessness. here, our actions have consequences for both ourselves and others truly, it is worse

What it means

A cartoon man and woman stand in a grocery store discussing whether their situation is hell. The woman argues that hell offers relief through utter helplessness, while life is worse because actions have consequences for oneself and others; the punchline is the bleak philosophical comparison. It is used as an absurd, nihilistic reaction to the burdens and consequences of everyday life.
