About This Quote
The blessed in the kingdom of heaven will see the punishments of the damned, in order that their bliss be more delightful for them. Everyone who is well off and happy has a greater chance of seeing something terrible than those who are not. The rich and poor, the good and bad, all will experience heaven and hell to such a degree that the only thing that matters is whether we see it. The ones who don’t will never know what they missed.
