In hell everyone is punished by being forced to eat with chopsticks that are three feet long. Everyone in hell is angry and starving because they can not pick up the food and can not get it into their mouths. In heaven everyone is gifted with three foot long chopsticks and they are all happy and full. How come?
Show Answer
In Heaven each person would use their 6 foot chopsticks to pick up some food and feed the person opposite them. In return, the person opposite would do the same back.
Both individuals get fed. However, in hell the people are selfishly trying to use their own chopsticks to feed themselves. That’s why they are hungry.

In fact nothing IS wrong with it. It is highly unusual though. But why? Study it and think hard about it. You might not find anything odd at first, but if you work at it, it may dawn on you why this paragraph is total unusual.
