In the "Invisible Cities", by Italo Calvino, Marco Polo speaks to the Mongol Emperor, Kublai Khan:
"Hell is not something that will come. If there is one, it is already here as this Hell we live in every day, this Hell that we form up just by being together. There are two ways to avoid suffering in it. The first is easy for most people: to accept Hell and become part of it, till a point where it is no more perceived. The second way is risky and requires continuous attention and learning: to try knowing how to recognize who and what, in the midst of this Hell, is not Hell and make them last and give them space."
