yes there's beauty in just existing and I think we tend to lose sight of that amongst the myriad of troubles we have, may have, or think we have. Chasing happiness is an endless pursuit no matter what we find happiness in, but we only really have to stand still and it's right there.
Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you", he said. "They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."
