There is a story about a man who wanted to see Heaven and Hell while he was still alive. He was at the spiritual level where he could make such a request, so an angel let him experience it in a dream.

He entered a room full of people who had long spoons tied to their hands. In the center of the room was a giant pot of soup. Everyone was trying to feed themselves, but the spoons were too long and they were unable to reach their mouths. “This is hell.” The angel said

Next he witnessed the same scenario, only here everyone was feeding their neighbor. The angel said, “This is heaven.”

Heaven is thinking about others and getting our needs met. Hell is thinking only of ourselves, and finding it only leads to starvation.
