We Have The Choice

Once upon a time a woman who had worked all her life to bring about good was granted one wish and she said before I die let me visit both hell and heaven and her wish was granted.

She was whisked off to a great dining hall the tables were piled high with delicious foods and drinks and around the table set miserable-looking starving people as wretched as one could be why they are like this she asked.

The angel who accompanied her look at their arms the angel replied she looked and saw that attached to the people's arms were long chopsticks secured above the elbow unable to bend their elbows the people aimed the chopsticks at the foot missed every time and sat hungry and frustrated and miserable indeed this is hell she said take me away from here and so then the angel took her to heaven and again she found herself in the same great dining hall with the tables piled high with delicious looking foods and drinks but this time around.

The tables sad people laughing joyful contented no chopsticks i suppose she said oh yes there are look just as in hell they are long and attached above the elbow but look here the people have learned to feed one another you see in life in your life sometimes heaven and hell can be the same place with the same people.

The only difference is how we treat each other how we help each other because it is upon us if we make our life heaven or hell on earth so next time you think about feeding yourself maybe think about how you could feed someone else.
