HIGHER EDUCATION BEGINS HERE

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.

What a great story. I will have to remember to tell to my Sunday school
class.
