Quote of the day

In hell, people are given very long chopsticks, longer than their arms, with which to eat. As they pick up food with the chopsticks, turning it toward their mouths, the food remains beyond reach. And although there is an abundance of food, everyone is starving. In heaven, on the other hand, people have the same long chopsticks, but everyone is full and content. The difference between hell and heaven is that in heaven, people don't try to feed themselves with the long chopsticks; they feed each other.
- Japanese fable
