Im sure some have seen this but I also some may not so enjoy.
A Spoon


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.'


When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!

Only 7% of the people who read this will share it with others. 93% of

people won't forward this!


HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND PASS IT ON!!!!!

while I understand the sentiment. its a rehash of the Buddhist/zen idea of heaven and hell and replace the spoon with tooth picks.
 
I did not know that It just seemed like a story someone made up.
Thanks had I known I would not have even kept it til now.
