The real truth in life is you don't have to be an extraordinary hero. You just have to get up off the couch and contribute a little bit with thousands of other like-minded people and that combined effort will be much more than any one person can do.
Hell is that person's voice in your head during your life, reflected back to you in the symbol of Others, those around you with the will and industry to meet the world while you are nailed down and anchored like a fixture in the house of mediocrity.
Pride will always be a sign of weak character. Strength comes from active humility which is impossible for a weakling to even attain. Pride is as close as anyone can come without actual achievment and is thus always a lie.
Everything you love and take pride in will be destroyed. This includes your body, home, inventions, artwork, trades, offspring, and your entire family line. Usually it happens after your death, but not always. It will happen though, as certain as your own death happens. Your treasure is not in this life but in the next. What you are here and what you could have been have no importance, except in the context of the Kingdom of Heaven. Hell is simply hell.
It's easier to cope with one's own shortcomings and failures than to cope with the annihilation of all of one's children and their childrens' children. If the latter is caused by shortcomings, it's worse but only by a little.
