There are two things in abundance in the universe: cold, ever-present darkness and scorching masses of heat. Kind of like hell... In pretty much every religious depiction of such. Universe, in like 99.9% consists of either cold, silent pitch black darkness with miserable stillness, or places of hellish, never-ending chain reaction producing combustion of unimaginable heat.
Then there is earth; a rocky world placed relatively close to one such flaming ball. A world full of hostile creatures who only know how to consume and multiply. A cruel place where nihilistic existence is fueled by endless strife against unavoidable death. A cycle of suffering which cannot be avoided, stratification, exploitation, misery and more. Ability to think which only brings progress without purpose and more creative ways of suffering. Ways that take entire lives to flourish; heartbreaks, loss, financial collapse etc..
Every bond we ever create ends in misery too. For everyone dies, or leaves at some point. Almost as if bonds were simply seeds of misery ready to go off the moment one side dies.
To sum up: If I was to imagine hell given it's usual descriptions I would picture our universe. It simply fits very well.
