One day an angel granted a wish to a kind and joyful man. Man could have wished for anything, but instead he said,"I am happy with the bounty of food upon my plate and joyful with the the love that surrounds me daily.But before dying, I would like just once to see heaven and hell."
The angel took him to hell first. To his surprise he found himself on the edge of a beautiful open green lawn surrounded by tall, graceful pine trees. as he walked to the middle of the lawn, he saw many people seated around a long table with the most magnificent and delicious foods on it.
As he went nearer, he saw the people looked very sickly and thin as if they are starving. he then noticed that the people's arms were locked straight so that they could not bend them to feed themselves.He thought that this is truly hell.
Then he returned to angel and she took him to heaven. Here too , he found himself on the edge of beautiful open green lawn surrounded by tall, majestic pine trees. As he walked towards the middle of the garden and saw many people seated around a great table with the most delicious and wonderful foods on it. But here also people's arms were also lock straight and so that they could not bent. Still these people were happy and healthy.He was surprised again but as he grew closer he saw people of heaven were feeding each other.
The old man smiled and said," this is truly heaven."
This is actually true when we have resources and unable to use them life becomes hell. Sometimes people don't have much, still living peacefully and happily, it is heaven.
So we should always be thankful for every good thing that comes our way.
