"Hell is other people."

So is heaven.
----------------------------------

I'm reminded of a story. One I may have posted before...

A great General, nearing the end of his life, began to ponder the nature of Heaven and Hell.
Being a Military man, not a Philosopher nor a Priest, sought the advce of the Sage.

The Sage became irritated, saying: "You come to me wishing to know the nature of Heaven and Hell? And you are the man who leads our armies? You are not fit to be called Man, let alone General!"

This angered the General, and he drew his sword to kill the Sage.

As the General began to swing the Sage spoke: "Here lie the gates of Hell."

The General, realizing the Sage was teaching him, fell on his face in apology.

To which the Sage replied: "Here lie the gates of Heaven."
