Hell vs Heaven {Insp}

*"Hell vs Heaven"

*A holy man was having a conversation with G~d one
day and said, 'G~d , I would like to know what Heaven
and Hell are like.'

G~d led the holy man to two doors.

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.

In the middle of the room was a large round table. In
the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which
smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.
They appeared to be famished.

They were holding spoons with very long handles, that
were strapped to their arms and each found it possible
to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.

But because the handle was longer than their arms,
they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.

G~d said, 'You have seen Hell.'

They went to the next room and opened the door. It
was exactly the same as the first one.

There was the large round table with the large pot of
stew which made the holy man's mouth water.

The people were equipped with the same long handled
spoons, but here the people were well nourished and
plump, laughing and talking.

The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'

'It is simple,' said G~d, 'It requires but one skill. You
see, they have learned to feed each other, while the
greedy think only of themselves!'
