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.'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.'

" Ain't ' it ' *SO*?

AS,'i've said {BEFORE}; “Even when we know what is right,; "WE" fail to act!!

"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend." - Robert Louis Stevenson

"People are alot like water:
1. They take the path of least resistance
2. They 'GO' with the flow
3. They're all wet
4. They're all different colors
5. It doesn't take much to disturb'm
6. "Once you cause them to make waves" it continues until it hits an obstacle and then SPLASHES!
7. "U" never know which way they're going next
8. { Sometimes } they carry 'deadly ingredents'
9. Once you get'm in the pipeline, they only flow when you turn'm on
10. & etc.

... TO BE OR NOT TO BE, that is the question!
'&' the answers are w-i-d-e open!
what?
when?
who? 'whoever you want to be'
why?
"CAUSE!" "U" want (( '2' 'B' ))
