the man asked god, "why is it that the place is the same but in one room the people suffer, whilst in the other, everyone is happy?"

god said to the man, "the first room is hell, the second is heaven"

puzzled, the man asks, "what is so different that these people could feel opposite? the rooms are the same!"

god replied, "in hell, everyone is trying to feed themselves...in heaven, they've learned to feed each other..."

i think this moral is that to be alone without helping others is to be in hell. heaven is where we take care of each other.

just something to consider...

Is that an analogy for socialism?
