In the middle of a room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of delicious stew. 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. THIS IS HELL!
Let's go to the next room. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of delicious stew. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. They have learned to feed each other. THIS IS HEAVEN!
I'm always willing to share my spoon with you all. God bless.

Wonderful story. Nice point to ponder and discuss with family around the dinner table.

Until we learn to draw strength from each other we are nothing. Thanks for sharing your spoon, Inday.
