Hell is .....

According to Jean-Paul Sartre, 'Hell is other people', and whilst I would go along with that to a large extent, there are some people whose company I enjoy, although whether they enjoy mine is another story.
I may be destined to go to Hell for many reasons, but as yet have no first hand experience of it, despite often wondering what it might be like. Today I read a description of a visit to the Glastonbury music festival and I really cannot imagine anything closer to my idea of hell than this. It is well worth reading and savouring from the comfort and calm of wherever we might be, for I can imagine nowhere and nothing worse than this.
Glastonbury is just a bad trip

The sense of claustrophobia was overpowering. ......a bass thump from the distant tent.
.... the constant bossiness ..... a ghastly premonition of what Britain will be like when ID cards are introduced ..... it resembles nothing so much as a vast industrial complex ..... generators hum, arc lights blaze, cars choke the surrounding roads.
As I say, this has to be Hell on earth!

The title of the column is Talking Points (you may not have noticed) and I was expressing my opinion about something which to me would be a thoroughly unpleasant way of spending my time. The fact that thousands of other people enjoy it is actually a benefit to me, it keeps them away from the places I might wish to go to!

Nobody said you have to go so why do you jump into it and complain? I might not like the food you eat or anything else about you but you don't hear me complaining, I just keep away.
I don't mean to sound nasty but if it doesn't concern you why don't you just ignore things. Think about it.
