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.

嘿，大家新年快樂~ 新年大家都在做什麼呢？
跨年夜的我趕工製作某個外包設計案，在工作告一段落時趕上倒數。
然後和兩個小孩過了一個忙亂的元旦。在深夜時刻，看到朋友傳來的解籤網站，興致勃勃熬夜體驗了一下，覺得非常好玩，或許有人玩過了，但還是想寫上來分享紀錄一下~
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🥢‘’
莎莉是一個普通的人，過著平淡的生活，卻對生命感到迷茫。她在進入教會後，發現了靈魂的存在，但同時也懼怕神的審判。她堅信遍體麟傷是生命的禮物，直到有一天，她發現這一切都是騙局...
小天堂，当他真正清醒的时候，他会回到这里。躺在黄花树下的小孩睁开了眼，夕阳难得的把世界染的金黄
人死后，会去往哪里?大部分有不同宗教信仰的人，都认为自己死后只会去往天堂或地狱，会遇到它们信仰的神，但如果它们中
賽斯有提到死亡就是回到全我，沒有任何可怕的，可是沒有詳述死亡到回歸全我的過程；後來讀到與神對話，一系列跟全我的自動書寫，我想由於作者是基督徒所以還是以"神"來描述全我，事實上連全我(賽斯)都說自己不是神，而是我們每個人都是神！！
總之，從全我(一切萬有)傳遞來的死亡過程有三步驟：
相當大的震
