Hell is a place
of eternal suffering and punishment in an afterlife, often
after resurrection according to many mythological, folklore and religious
traditions. Religions with a linear divine history often depict hell as endless. Religions with a cyclic history often depict a hell as an
intermediary period between incarnations. Typically, these traditions locate
hell under the Earth’s external surface. It often includes entrances to Hell
from the land of the living.
As an individual of
this society, I cannot deny the fact that I committed such sins. Sin plays a
major part in the human condition. A human without sin is a very rare breed and
in my opinion, nonexistent. Without sin, we would not be a human life form. We would
be up there with Jesus Christ and the almighty one himself. However, sin is
punished. Some wages of sin are death. One of those is being irresponsible in
passing requirements in a subject, specifically Research. This falls in the
first circle of hell which is the circle of irresponsibility or recklessness
which is guided by Mrs. Bautista. The punishment in this circle is to pass the
requirements needed for the subject area. Second one was being indolent in some
household chores. This comprises the second circle which is the circle of
indolence or slothful, guided by my mother, Alma Grace. The chastisement for
this sin is to be industrious in the household chores. The third circle is the
circle of fraud or dishonesty. Honestly, I once committed this sin in other
way. The castigation for this misdeed is to correct all those wrongdoings and
untruthfulness that one has obligated which is guided by my mom. Another one is
saying bad words which falls in the fourth circle. The retribution for this
circle is to refrain from speaking bad words which is guided by my grandmother.
The fifth circle comprises the souls of persons who aren’t frequently attending
mass which is guided by my grandma again. Another circle is the circle of
greediness or strongly desiring for more than required which is the sixth
circle of hell. This is escorted by my mother. And the last circle, the seventh
circle which is the circle of enviousness or covetousness which I once
committed when my mom is giving such special attention with my sisters which
succumb me to a temptation of being envious. This circle is guided by my mother,
Alma Grace.
Our sins, our
judgments and our wrong doings make us unclean or unworthy to dwell in the
presence of our Father in Heaven. Through the loving, willing sacrifice of our
savior Jesus Christ and the love of our Father in Heaven we can be forgiven of
our past sins and move more joyfully towards the Kingdom of God. Repentance is one
of the most essential principals to our temporal, spiritual and eternal happiness.
Repentance is much more than just acknowledging our wrong doings. It is a
change of mind and a full change of heart that will in turn give us a fresh
view about God, about ourselves, family, friends, and the world around us. When
we act upon repentance we are showing our love for God and the true desire that
we have to follow His Great Commandments, we find ourselves turning away from
sin and ask towards God for forgiveness.
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like Crimson they shall be as wool.”
