"Hell is other people" is only one side of the coin. The other side, which no one seems to mention, is also "Heaven is each other". Hell is separateness, uncommunicability, self-centeredness, lust for power, for riches, for fame. Heaven on the other hand is very simple, and very hard: caring about your fellow beings. And that’s possible on a sustained basis only in collectivity.
