Paradise on Earth at the Rubin Museum
Threats of punishment and promises of reward inspire a lot of spiritual quests. Unless you are a true masochist, pessimist, or martyr, however, imagining enlightenment, resurrection, and redemption is probably preferable to thoughts of suffering and damnation. Most of us prefer a massage to a hair shirt; hope to fear; picturing walking into the light, rather than into the fire. That is probably ...
