Do you want to know what Heaven and Hell is like? Read below:

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and
said, "Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. "

The Lord 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.

The Lord 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 the Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see,
they have
learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of
themselves."
