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."
This sounds so much like what it's like being a member of the WISH family. Thank you everyone for your caring hearts.
