Are there any philosophies that suggest that our time here on earth is actually hell?

In other words, are there any philosophical ideas that push the idea that we are currently in hell as long as we exist here on earth?

Yes, Schopenhauer in his essay *On the Suffering of the World* says, “For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other devils in it.” He’s pretty dark, if not nihilistic. But it’s a good, short essay.
