Heaven and Hell

-A Swami was having a conversation
with Lord Shiva one day and said.-

-'Lord, I would like to know what
Heaven and Hell are like.

Lord Shiva led the Swami to two
doors.-
He opened one of the doors and the
Swami looked in. In the middle of
the room was a large round table. In
the middle of the table was a large pot
of stew, which smelled delicious and -
made the Swami's mouth water. -
-The people sitting! around the table -
were thin and sickly. They appeared to
be famished. They were holding -
spoons with very long handles that
were strapped to their arms and each
found it possible to reach into the pot
of stew and take a spoonful.
-But because the handle was longer
than their arms, they could not get the
spoons back into their mouths.
-The Swami shuddered at the sight
of their misery and suffering.-

-Lord Shiva said, 'You have seen Hell.-

-They went to the next room and -
opened the door. It was exactly the
same as the first one. There was the
large round table with the large pot of
stew which made the holy man's mouth
water. The people were equipped with
the same long-handled spoons, but here
the people were well nourished and
plump, laughing and talking. The Swami
said, 'I don't understand.'

'It is simple,' said Lord Shiva.

'It requires but one skill. You see -
they have learned to feed each-
other, while the greedy think only -
of themselves.' -

When Lord Shiva created the world,-
He was thinking of you.-


From now onwards I will always share my spoon.

I don't know who originated this, but it is beautiful!

4 All Best Frndzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This is for you, my best friend,

the one person i can tell my soul too

Who can relate to me like no other

Who I can laugh with to no extents,

Who I can cry too when times are tough,

Who can help me with the problems of my life.

Never have you turned your back on me

Or told me I wasnt good enough

Or let me down

I don't think you know what that means to me

You have went through so much pain and you still have time

For me.

And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying

And I look up too you because you are strong,

and caring

and beautiful.

Even though you don't think you are.

And I hope you know that I am always here

To listen to you laugh and cry and help

In all the ways that i can

And I will try to be at least half the friend you are

To me.

I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you.

My best friend.

Why GOD Gave Us Friends..............

Why GOD Gave Us Friends..............

GOD knew that everyone needs
Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near...
He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand..
GOD knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way..
Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
Hold and treasure in our hearts..
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends.......
