Once I heard a story about what is like in afterlife. Everyone is given a pair of long chopsticks upon entering the netherworld. There are endless flowing of food for everyone everywhere. However, the chopsticks are rather too long to be practical. And, he food could only be picked with the chopsticks alone.
All the souls are welcome into this great banquet hall. No sooner than entering, the souls are somehow divided into two groups. One group is happily feeding each other with the long chopsticks, while another trying in vain for eternity to feed themselves!
That differentiates Heaven and Hell; everyone is invited for Heaven, but some turn it into Hell!
We are human that live in community, serving each other is the key to live happily! Somehow, this important value is getting diluted more and more. It is implied in various ways that the overemphasis is given to self rather than the contrary.
I hope educators are getting this important value across to our young minds that will build the future!
