Life truly can be horrible

I expect it would be.
My uncle was a cardiopulmonary surgeon in Montreal, in the 1970s he sometimes had to decide who to unplug from iron lungs to make room for a newer patient who might have a better chance of survival. The patients suffer, the medical doctors suffer too (though not as much).

I myself go through the same sequence of events between about 04:30 to 06:30 every morning (PTSD?), I have to pick myself up, shake it off and force myself up otherwise I am stuck as my mind keeps trying to figure out how to fix a situation I cannot fix. Misunderstandings can cause suffering.

What I meant is that people should not be abandoned to suffer alone with no hope -- though I recognize that the world in many respects is horrible and sometimes people are suffering circumstances no one should have to live through, including horrific incurable diseases.

In one video someone said Titus tried to merge Christian beliefs and the cult of Mithras: Christianity was popular with poor Gentiles (and Romanized Jews who were ok with letting go of the Law of Moses) while Mithras was popular with legionnaires and officers. Mithras was born on the 25th.

Old gods, perhaps from before indo-europeans, the time of the cyclopean wall builders, predates the Classical Greeks we know of.
Descendants of cyclopean wall builders may now live in Georgia (country) and the Basque region. ref. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVb_...

IMO Pan, Hermes and Hecate have to do with the boundary between worlds: Hermes can cross boundaries, Hecate marks the boundaries and watches, Pan represents natural feral chaos, Demeter natural abundance.
