A holy man was having a conversation with The Supreme Creator one day and said, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." The Supreme Creator 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 Supreme Creator said, "You have 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 the Supreme Creator, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."

came across the same story, but with chinese slant, same set up... but they had six foot chop sticks..... funny that these story differ alittle bit by geography but tell us the same wise point...... or is it mind control so that the master gets us working together.... maybe it's how you use poeple power that matters.... there is alway an equal and op , if we look for it.
I still think it's a lovley story along the right path.
Freedom for all;)

Where did you get that story from,
I have heard it before,
But I don't know the source,
It would be ironic if it was Talmudic,
And a discription of Lazarus at the table,
Got any ideas as to the source???

Yes cheeb, it may be from the Talmud. I think it comes right after the chapter, where it says`it's ok to rob, steal, cheat, humiliate,murder a Goy! Have you goy yer skullcap on today????:eek: Thanx for making me laugh! The Cubbies just got swept in the playoffs, and I may have to wait another 99 years for a World Series Championship! Oh well, any team can have a bad year...er...century!!!!
