Probably one of the best quotes from any movie. Not that I'd actually like to dine in hell, but it's the concept that is intriguing. Not that long ago, while sitting in church, I heard this story of a feast in heaven and a feast in hell. It goes something like this, only with a little twist of Angelina thrown in. Please enjoy.
"One day I died. I traveled to heaven and to hell to learn something about something.
When I arrived in hell, there was a huge table filled with every kind of delicacy imaginable. The hell dwellers had long forks attached to their hands. Yet try as they may, they couldn't bring the forks to their mouths. In front of the huge banquet, they were all famished, and wraith-like. Because they could not eat the wonderful feast.
"I traveled up to heaven to see what the feast would be there. Dawn's light flooded in around the table and warm light became a blanket around me. I went to see the heaven dwellers. At the table they were all laughing and having a wonderful time. The long table was filled every kind of delicacy known. The heaven dwellers also had long forks attached to their hands. On the contrary to hell, the heaven dwellers were well fed. As I looked closer to see what they were doing differently I was amazed.
"They were feeding each other. Each dweller filled their fork and fed it to the person across from them.
"Leaving heaven and traveling nowhere, I stopped to ponder these separate events. I came to this conclusion: We all need each other to survive. If we think only of ourselves, we perish. If we think of others we prosper."
