In an ancient Eastern story, heaven and hell are exactly alike:
Each is an enormous banquet where the most incredible, delectable dishes
are placed on huge tables. Those who partake in the feast are given
chopsticks five feet long. In the banquet in hell, people give up struggling to
feed themselves with these awkward utensils and remain ravenously
unfulfilled. In heaven, everyone selflessly feeds the person across the table.

Thank you Akira...love this in all the contexts/forms
it's been translated... First version I came across was
printed in the Chicago Seed newspaper back in 1969, I
think, and was framed as the Vietnamese Parable of
Heaven and Hell... ;)
