Hell on Earth "A lifetime of happiness‚ no man could bear it. it would be hell on Earth." This quote means that no one can be happy all the time‚ it is not healthy. I agree with because a lifetime of complete happiness would not only seem to be logically impossible. it would be lead to a feeling of separation and a lack of belonging‚ Which in turn would lead to sadness‚ what is happiness without a little sadness?
