It's love that burns, so much that it is how we can tell that the soul is a real thing. The pain of love is real, and nothing abstract. I understand why Hell is the last horror, and also why it is, as the great theologians said, a manifestation of the love of God. It is God's love rejected, and unrecoverable.
It is separation, which is the one thing that love cannot abide. Separation makes love a torment. Hell is a fire, a separation which cannot be escaped. But even so, it cannot stop being love, even in separation, even when it is only torment.
