Everything is Relative

A man died and went to heaven. It was determined through his deeds that he belonged in hell but the choice was not an easy one for there are two kinds of hell, a Jewish one and a Gentile one.
In the Gentile hell you going to boiling water from 9 AM to 5 PM and the rest of the day you can watch TV or do anything you like.    In the Jewish hell you go into a vat of boiling water remain there until 5 PM. The rest of the day can be spent relaxing.
The man said, “I will take the Jewish one.”
”Why?” asked the attendant. “They are both the same.”

The man answered, “You do not know.   The Jewish one, nine is not really nine and five is not five.  And the water is not really boiling.”

Everything is Relative.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
