Hell is a temporary spiritual condition of total separation from love, joy, God, light, peace, sanity, etc. People put themselves in this state until they no longer refuse to love others and themselves. Hell is a condition where we grasp the gravity of our offenses and pay the price for them. Those with negative thought patterns may flee the light of God at death because they are too ashamed or too afraid to have their inner thoughts and negative natures revealed to everyone. God does not condemn anyone to hell.
People create their own hell by their own physical desires.
Some people flee the light of God after death for fear their hidden desires and thoughts will be revealed. Physical desires can be carried over into the afterlife but physical desires cannot be satisfied there. This can create a hellish condition for those who have them. One level of hell exists right here on earth where an earthly desire is craved but cannot be satisfied. Some people linger around the living after death, usually to try to satisfy a physical desire.
