I Disagree with Dante that Hell is Arranged in Circles

I believe that love is a pattern of behavior and thought; the better the behavior and the more sensitive the thought, the greater the love.
Love lives and dies within an endless, ethereal spiral beginning at the moment that one becomes sentient and ends at death. Behavior and thought are synergistic and constantly vary in their degrees of harmony therefore causing the feeling of love to wax and wane.
Because a spiral shape is contiguous it can freely accept subtle changes anywhere within its realm. When circumstances cause behavior and thought to become out of sync, out of parallel, if you like, a new paradigm is created. It, then, must find its way to its new and proper place within the ever-accommodating host, where all of love’s subtleties freely flow to and fro. Depending upon the infinite number of things that cause imbalances and their resolution the intensity of love may or may not change. Love is always at the whim of the moment.
Contrast a spiral’s shape with Dante’s mistakenly highly touted Inferno’s nine circles (rings) in Hell. His concept of one’s placement in hell was determined by the number of and the degrees of sins one committed while alive.
Circle one was for the lesser sinners and eternal punishment was less. Circle nine was for the worst sinners who had to deal with excruciating punishment forever.
His concept was flawed because circles are separate, non-contiguous. The separate circles did not give necessary consideration to the minute subtleties within the degrees of sin.
It stands to reason, then, that his concept cannot be considered credible.
