Neil even knows that by being beyond God’s awareness, he is not loved by God in return. This doesn’t affect his feelings either, because unconditional love asks nothing, not even that it be return.
And though it’s been many years that he has been in Hell beyond the awareness of God, he loves Him still. That is the nature of true devotion.
ARRIVAL--WHY ARE THEY HERE?

For him the mystery was solved, because he understood that everything in life is love, even pain, especially pain. — Hell is the Absence of God
Arrival
Ted Chiang
Neil loved his wife Sarah so much. While the life was so cruel that an arrival of the Angel one day had caused an accident which brought Sarah to the God accidentally. Neil was not a God-lover while he now faced a problem that if he didn’t love God, he cannot meet Sarah again in the Heaven. He then finally decided to be a light-seeker when he previously knew where the Angel would appear. However, he was killed by the catastrophe the Angel brought and he finally was sent to the Hell, without love.
In terms of the God, the story described many examples for the disciples who loved the God and what they had experienced through the Angel or God. Someone like Janice, who lost her legs when born but restored by God one day. She was the person who was favored by God; Sarah was also a believer though she was not crazy as others. Out of imagination, she died because of the arrival of the Angel. Every time the Angel came would bring some fortunes and unfortunates, she was the one who suffered the unfortunate.

Hell is always expressed like somewhere horrible with devils or bad ghosts. By reading the story, we could know that Neil was actually not a bad person, the only one thing he do that contradict the world was not believe the God. Because of this, he was doomed to live in the Hell and apparently separated with Sarah. As for the title, hell is the absence of God, the Hell did not pointed the real Hell. Whereas to Neil, the place without Sarah had been already Hell.

當這隻熊在祕魯和露西姑姑告別時，他並不知道自己要往何處去。因此，當他發現自己身處在英國倫敦的火車月台上時，他非常驚訝!
因為閱讀讀書會的書單《妳一生的預言 》(Stories of Your Life and Others)，2002出版，姜峰楠所著)，知道它有被翻拍成電影，所以找了電影《異星入侵 》(Arrival) 來看，不得不說...這中文名字翻譯真的好爛，和原本小說根本聯想不起來...我初步真的以為這
我想說一個故事-天堂與地獄的故事
有個善惡參半的人死去之後，上帝為了喚起它對善惡的區別意識
派了使者，帶著它從天堂跟地獄輪流參觀
上帝也特別為了這件事，在天堂與地獄設了一桌滿桌豐盛的食物
但唯獨特別的是：
‘’待在天堂、地獄 的每個人都有雙比手臂還要長的筷子🥢‘’
連咳了兩三天，半夜咳醒，白天昏沉
去看醫生，醫生推測不是病毒感染，只是季節變化所致
那就好，不然走一病程，總又要花上個四、五天

身為國泰航空在香港機場五個貴賓室之一的賞心堂，跟其他四個離港貴賓室相比，空間較小、飲食也較少且沒有獨立洗手間，但因為使用資格的限制，賞心堂裡面的旅客也少了很多，也更安靜。不過賞心堂最大的好處就是可以在這梳洗一下，迎接接下來的行程。
