Hell on earth must look like North Korea. Well, there are no flaming fires or devils prancing around, it's just that there is absolutely no individual freedom whatsoever, that anyone born North Korean is like being damned already, while living on earth. With the death of Kim Jong-Il, the isolated country is once again on the spotlight and only time will tell if its Orwellian landscape will change in my lifetime.
Well, nothing is impossible. The Berlin Wall fell during my lifetime. A black American became president of the United States. So really, North Korea may soon become like South Korea soon enough. It's just that the contrast between the two nations is so beguiling. South Korea is an example of what a Korea could become if given individual freedoms. North Korea exemplifies the opposite. I believe every human being should be in an environment where he or she can realize his or her full potential and become an asset to mankind. That may never happen to a North Korean unless that cult of personality existing there is dismantled. I think being a North Korean is just a step up from being a zombie. At least zombies are fodder for horror entertainment.
