Difficulties create meanings in life by forcing us to concentrate, and the absence of such difficulties makes life dull and boring...
This story is about a man who has just died and find himself in the afterlife.
Just as the man was exploring his new existence, he felt a powerful presence appearing in front of him. The presence said to him, "Welcome! You can have anything you want here...you just have to wish for it!"
Having said that, the powerful presence dissapeared. The man was overjoyed and indulges himself in every desires he can think of. However as time passed, the man began to feel bored as he realized that things lose their value when they are easily attained.
Facing an eternity of boredom, the man cried out loud, "Heaven is so boring! I rather be in hell!!!"
Out of nowhere, the powerful voice replied, "Where do you think you are in the first place?"
