"Other people are hell" is from "Confinement" written by French writer Jean-Paul Sartre.

Understanding that "others are hell":

If the relationship between a person and others deteriorates and gets worse, then others are hell ... There are indeed quite a few people living in hell in the world, because they rely too much on other people's judgments. But this is not to say that there can be no other relationship with others. It is extremely important to change your behavior.

People are always in the relationship with others, and people's freedom must also be realized in the relationship with others. It is impossible for a completely isolated individual to survive, and of course there is no freedom. Man himself is just a concept relative to others. Without others, man will no longer be a man, so man needs others and cannot live without them.

In the relationship with others, if you choose everything to realize your selfish and despicable desires, or even sacrifice others' freedom to realize your desires by hook or by crook, you will push others into hell, and others' lives are the projection of life, and those who harm others will harm themselves!

Every "hell" begins with selfish choices, and then "the fish in the pool" will be harmed. The result can only be that everyone lives in a "no one is better" hell, and if they want to harm others and trick others, the final result will inevitably be to harm themselves and hurt themselves. In other words, if you are the cause of deteriorating relations with others, you have to bear the pain of hell.

The narrow and selfish mind's choice can become its own hell, while the open and broad mind's choice can become the paradise of others. There is only one layer between heaven and hell-it depends on how all beings choose.

The origin of "Others are Hell" Introduction to "Confinement":

"Confinement" mainly describes three criminals who were thrown into hell after their death, namely, Ines, a postal clerk, Estelle, a Parisian lady, Garsin, a newspaper editor, and a hell valet. When they first met in the secret room of hell, they guarded against each other and concealed their misdeeds:

Garsin tried to convince others that he was a hero, but in fact he was a coward who was executed for running away from the game in World War II, and at the same time he was a sadist who indulged in drinking and torturing his wife; Estelle conceals the identity of a sex maniac and the guilt of infanticide, falsely claiming that she is a chaste woman who ruined her youth for her old husband;

Ines remembers the existence of "others" with hostility in order to cover up his homosexual past as much as possible. However, they not only shut themselves off from each other, but also "torture" others. Everyone exists in the eyes of others all the time and is examined and supervised. Because they didn't change their bad habits during their lifetime, their true faces were quickly exposed.

Once exposed, they have no scruples, and the three people have formed a two-way triangular relationship that has always pursued each other and the other has always been mutually exclusive: Garsin hopes to get Estelle rejected by Ines; Ines wants Estelle to refuse Garsin; Estelle wants Garsin to reject Ines. Three miserable souls are like sitting on a merry-go-round, and they are always in a "situation" where they can never chase each other. < P > The mutual pursuit has become an unbearable torment, and no one can get it, no one can get peace, no one can leave, and its misery is like being trapped in a endless hell. In the end, Garsin realized that there was no torture device in hell: "Why use the grill? Others are hell!" The play ends with Garsin saying helplessly, "Well, let's go on".
