Chopsticks!

A woman who had worked all her life to bring about good was granted one wish, “Before I die let me visit both hell and heaven.” 🙌

Her wish was granted. She was whisked off to a great banqueting hall. The tables were piled high with delicious food and drink. 👏👏

Around the tables sat miserable, starving people as wretched as could be. “Why are they like this?” she asked the angel who accompanied her. 👏

“Look at their arms,” the angel replied. She looked and saw that attached to the people’s arms were long chopsticks secured above the elbow. 👏

Unable to bend their elbows, the people aimed the chopsticks at the food, missed every time, and sat hungry, frustrated, and miserable. 👏

“Indeed this is hell! Take me away from here!” She was then whisked off to heaven. 👏

Again she found herself in a great banqueting hall with tables piled high. Around the tables sat people laughing, contented, and joyful. 👏

“No chopsticks I suppose,” she said. “Oh yes there are. 🙌

Look, just as in hell they are long and attached above the elbow but look, here people have learned to feed one another”. 🙌
