You know what this coversation reminds of, its a bit of segue... but...I read a book a while back called... the Devil's detective. It was set in hell, in the story people in hell, knows they are in hell, but doesn't know who they used to be or what they did to get sent there, only they are dead and it was hell, and they could die in hell too
The MC was given the job of a detective, and he was told to solve crimes, except he never does, and it never mattered because its hell. its only the he had to try to solve them and in the hell the rule of law as weird, demons would go around randomly torturing people, and that is fine, but everyone, Humans, had jobs and had to do those jobs
In the story it was revealed that his two colleges were in love and were secretly a couple, and they hide that fact, because its hell, good things weren't meant to happen.
But after the MC's co-workers died, he asked his boss, "why did hell, let good things happen? Should they all not just be suffering endlessly? Why do hell let hope and happiness exist?"
Because, to see happiness know it can exist and it not be happening to you... make suffering so much worst. The contrast gives the edge to suffering... that was what I learned from that story
Just a sideway musing... to brings something up and watch it fall... that's is tragic...isn't it... But if you do it in reverse... that's what? Naruto?
