We are likely to get more company in hell as people of all sorts are likely to gather in hell. In Heaven one will meet only pious people. Quite an interesting proverb!

I like your sense of humor, Yann. This Monoku is really profound, despite the fact that where we spend eternity in paradise or hell is pretty much predetermined. Having friends in Hades and good weather in Heaven.
