"The difference," God replied, "rests in one simple choice. You see, in<br />

Hell, people only think of serving <strong>the</strong>mselves, while in Heaven, <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

learned to feed each o<strong>the</strong>r."<br />

(While this parable is attributed to Rabbi Haim of Romshishok, variations of it are<br />

heard all over <strong>the</strong> world -- <strong>from</strong> Europe, where <strong>the</strong> pot is filled with stew and <strong>the</strong> people<br />

are using long-handled spoons, to China, where <strong>the</strong> pot is filled with rice and <strong>the</strong> people<br />

are using elongated chopsticks)<br />

"The allegory of <strong>the</strong> long spoons teaches us that when we struggle to<br />

deed only ourselves, we all go hungry. And yet when we focus on relieving<br />

our neighbor's hunger, <strong>the</strong>re is always enough to feed everyone." ~ Caritas<br />

Amen ... Let it be so!<br />
