<TT>A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day</TT> <TT>and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>The Lord led the holy man to two doors.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the</TT> <TT>middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of</TT> <TT>the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the</TT> <TT>holy man's mouth water.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.</TT> <TT>They appeared to be famished.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>They were holding spoons with very long handles that were</TT> <TT>strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach</TT> <TT>into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the</TT> <TT>handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back</TT> <TT>into their mouths.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.'</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same</TT> <TT>as the first one.</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made</TT> <TT>the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same</TT> <TT>long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump,</TT> <TT>laughing and talking.</TT> <TT>The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see they</TT> <TT>have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of</TT> <TT>themselves.'</TT> <TT> </TT> <TT> </TT> <TT> </TT> <TT>Understood the difference between hell and heaven?. OK. </TT><TT> </TT>
