I wonder what the paradise looked like,
If we tear down hell
What will we replace it with?
History shows the same old same old
Interesting human dilemma ;)

True

AND PARADISE WAS REGAINED
IN THE NICK OF TIME”

It has, unfortunately been a very long time since there was a paradise anywhere here on earth. But it is our job, having thrown it away, pillaged it, to restore it. The hell is of our making, then so must the heaven be. You say so much in so few words!!!

You know what – if we were given the chance to do it all over again, the same thing would happen. I think G-d programmed us with an inborn wish to self-destruct
