The Difference Between Heaven and Hell - Matthew Kelly - 60 Second Wisdom

The afterlife is a mystery. But that doesn’t stop us from trying to catch glimpses of what it might be like. In these sixty seconds, Matthew Kelly uses a simple analogy drawn from ancient spirituality to provide a glimpse. The goal of the video isn’t to provide comprehensive thought on the subject. Nobody can. The goal of this video is to draw our attention to the fact that this life is not forever. When we remember that we tend to live with more compassion and courage.

Video Transcript:

"What is the difference between heaven and hell in 60 seconds? That’s the challenge I gave myself.

In hell, everyone’s at an amazing banquet, the tables are full of incredible food, and everyone is given a fork and the fork is six feet long.

And so they can get the food on the fork, but they can’t get the fork in their mouth and so everyone is starving. In hell everyone’s starving.

In heaven it’s different. It’s a huge banquet, it’s an amazing banquet, the tables are full of food stacked to the roof. Everyone is given the same six-foot-long fork, but they feed the person opposite them on the other side of the table.

That’s the difference between heaven and hell. In hell, people are starving, in heaven, people are full, they have their fill, they have their abundance."
