Think and think and think .....

[Guest guest]

Here is something for us all to ponder upon and share around...

 

A Holy Man was having a conversation with God one day and

said, 'God,I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.' God

then 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 it seems that 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.

 

God said, 'You have just seen Hell.' They then 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 God. 'It

requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each

other, while the greedy think only of themselves.'

 

'We are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual

experience.
