heaven and hell

cristina told me such a nice story today:

once there was a man who wanted to know what the difference was between heaven and hell. so first he dropped down into hell for a quick visit. everyone was incredibly frustrated, pained and angry - there was an amazing banquet spread out in front of them, but everyone was forced to eat with really long forks, so they couldn't get the food to their mouths!

a bit distressed by the experience, he next popped up to heaven to see how things were there. his first impression was of how happy and friendly everyone seemed, but to his suprise everything looked very similar - there was another amazing banquet spread out in front of everyone, and everyone was still forced to eat with the really long forks. the difference was that everyone was using their own long forks to feed each other.

isn't that just so sweet :)
