Most older people today would complain how different are the youth compared to their generation pointing out the diminishing moral values. However, I certainly would disagree because one person agreed. This is what he said:

“Our youth love luxury. They have bad manners and despise authority. They show disrespect for their elders and love to chatter in place of exercise. Young people are now tyrants, not the servants of their household. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up food and terrorize their teachers.”

Why did I disagree? Well, you'd be suprised who said this...

Okay, so what's the difference between dining in hell and dining in heaven?

A man named Mario died and he descended to hell, where he saw souls seated before a banquet table of unimaginable beauty.

However, a long spoon was strapped to each person’s wrist, so long that he or she was unable to bring the delicacies to his or her own mouth. Their hunger torturous and good food unreachable, made them full of frustration and rage.

Looking up at heaven, Carlos found the same set-up, except that everyone was radiantly happy; for the people were using the long spoons to feed each other

Well, it has something to do with the type of people!

Sometimes in life it is best for us to get rid of those nails that come in the form of hurts, addictions, and secrets before its too late.

Here's a story why...

A certain man wanted to sell his house for two thousand dollars. Another man wanted to buy it very badly. But he was a poor man and didn’t have the money for the full price. After much bargaining, the owner agreed to sell the house to the man for one thousand dollars. But the reduced price came with a stipulation. The owner would sell the house, but he would keep ownership protruding from over the front door. Several years later, the original owner decided he wanted to buy the house back. Understandably, the new owner was unwilling to sell. As a result, the original owner went out, found the carcass of a dead dog in the street, and hung it from the nail he still owned. Soon the house became unlivable, and the family was forced to sell to the owner of the nail.
