The long handled Spoon...

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.
  
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you.
