One day the young King visited a Wiseman residing in the domain of his kingdom. The King said: "Wiseman, I am going to ask you a question and if you can't give me an answer that will please me...off with your head".
The Wiseman nodded.
King: What exactly is "HELL" and "HEAVEN"?
Wiseman: You're son of a bitch.
King: Jump-up with great anger, sword in hand and was about to decapitate the Wiseman....
Wiseman: That, my dear king, is "HELL"
King: I am ashamed of my un-Kingly behavior.
Wiseman: That, my dear king, is "HEAVEN"
We are that young King. We are in charge of our own self-conscious domain and we can determined how "heavenly" or "hellish" we want to live our lives.
King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.
