    Let me guess, punished for the sin of enjoying life’s pleasures while Dante was spending his time in a self enforced penance of avoiding and feeling guilty about things that aren’t wrong and accepting punishment that doesn’t accomplish anything other than making him feel smug about having a better afterlife that may or may not even exist while those who didn’t experience extreme punishments that Dante himself invented all as part of this smug cycle?
