什么是天堂和地狱?通过这个故事告诉人们劳动的意义。
A man died and was on his way to another world, either heaven or hell. He saw a very beautiful palace half way and the owner of the palace asked him to stay and live in the palace.
The man said, “I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any work.”
The owner of the palace said, “If so, there is nowhere else better than here for you. There is enough delicious food in my palace and you can eat whatever you want without anyone stopping you. Moreover, nothing needs to be done by you.” Then, the man stayed in the palace.
At the beginning, the man felt very happy, eating and sleeping, without thinking about other things. But gradually, he felt a bit lonely and bored. So he went to the owner and said, “It is too boring to live by just eating and sleeping every day. Now I have no interest in this kind of life any more. Could you help me find a job?”
The owner replied, “Sorry, there is no job here at all.”
After another several months, the man could not stand his present life and went to the owner again and said, “I really cannot stand this sort of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would like to go to hell instead of living here.”
The owner of the palace laughed loudly and then said, “Do you think it is heaven here? It is actually hell!”
