Bob Dylan wrote something I really liked:
"..While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not.."
My interpretation is that he's saying that the truly poor people (paupers) are those who are into the material world, and that the real royalty of society are those who explore the metaphysical.
I'd like to think that thoughts and time on this subject aren't a complete waste. It might just be my opinion, but I feel that optimism lies, if not within, at least next to metaphysics.
As for the main subject:
I'm pretty sure Haiti has nothing to do with 'Hell'. I'm not sure exactly what it means exactly. I know for some of the masochists here maybe purgatory would be it. But if we carry anything over to the other side, I feel the most likely would be our memories, so make them good. Cheers.
