Aligheiri Dante's "Inferno" is the first of three books in Dante's
classical work "The Divine Comedy." The "Inferno" pursues Dante's journey
through Hell on his path to discovering God. He begins at the bottom Hell
in sin, and must fight his way to the top through a variety of adventures,
where lovely Beatrice awaits him in Paradise. In modern times, Dante's
work is still quite applicable, because there are many people who deserve
to reside in Hell. Instead of nine circles, today there are three - High
Hell, Middle Hell, and Deepest Hell. High Hell is reserved for those who
have sinned, but not critically.
The punishment in High Hell would be similar to Dante's labyrinth, but
a great beast would not guard it. Howard Stern would guard it, and his
continual and never-ending comments would be audible throughout the
labyrinth. There is no exit from this labyrinth, and there is no moving
between levels. Once you have reached Hell, and been assigned to your
level, there is no moving or changing position. Lucifer still presides
over Hell, but each level has its' own master or guard. This labyrinth
would be elaborate, but laid out in deep sand that is difficult to plod
through. There are an amazing number of twists and turns, and no matter
how far the inhabitants of High Hell get into the labyrinth, there is no
end, and no solution to the maze.
Middle Hell is a series of physical and mental challenges that never
end. Those who end up in Middle Hell spend the rest of their lives trying
to solve them, but as soon as they do, another challenge is set before
them. There is no end. The masters of this level are Bill Gates and his
team of software engineers that designed Windows and Microsoft Word. They
are devious in the challenges they design, and include so many tricks and
mis-codes that some of the challenges are simply unsolvable. People here
are baffled by the complexity of the simpl...
