Life-affirming or what?
"
A man went to heaven and another man went to hell. For some reason, they were allowed to speak to each other for a short while. The man from hell was complaining about how awful hell was. And he started telling the other guy about one thing that happened.
"Every night, the Devil has us sit at a banquet table. I haven't had anything to eat and it all looks so good. But before we can begin, he says that we must use proper manners at his table and use the eating utensils provided for us. But the handle on the spoon is so long, it's longer than your arm, and I just can't get any of the food to reach my mouth."
The man who went to heaven smiles gently and says, "Yes. We have that exact same table and utensils in heaven with the rule that we must use those utensils."
The man in hell is astonished, "But.. you're supposed to be in heaven! Why are you being tortured like me?"
The man in heaven replies, "It's not a torture, it's a pleasure. We feed each other.""
