place is not nice. It sucks totally and completely.
    Messenger : Well, the choice was yours. You were told when you were growing up that there were two places you go to when you die. The good place was called Land of Eternal Happiness and the other one was called Land of Eternal Discomfort. You were seriously warned about the latter but where you go after you leave that place below your feet depends only on you.
    Stone: I’m just from telling you that I was living like a king down there and knew the taste of good things. I wouldn’t have possibly chosen this place. It sucks. No man in his right senses would choose a place like this. If at all I chose this place, I must have certainly been drunk.
    Messenger : That is not true. You were not drunk at all. You were in your right frame of mind when you decided to come here. All those who have come here keep claiming they never chose this place. Instead, they accuse me of directing them here. It’s true that no man in his right senses would choose a place like this one but each and everyone is the driver of his or her own life.
    Stone: ( To messenger ) What are you doing here? Did you decide as well to come here?
    Messenger : I am a messenger. I was sent here to take care of some people who might be contesting their presence in this place.
    Stone: He who sent you did the right thing. I am one of those who can’t remember the day, time or year I decided to come to this filthy place. If you can refresh my memory, I would be really grateful.
    Messenger : Well, let me begin with a phrase somebody you knew very well made. He said “All Men Are Born Equal.” By implication it means that all human beings must be treated fairly without prejudice of any sort and with dignity.”
    Stone : I disagree with that. He who made that stupid statement was my one time leader. He did not really mean what he said because his actions proved the contrary of what he was trying to preach. He claimed all men were born equal but had men who were forcefully taken from their homelands working on his plantations without any pay.
    Messenger: Whether he put into practice what he said or not or did the opposite of what he preached is not the issue here. I am using the phrase because it is very true and suits the purpose for which my master created Man. You consider the phrase stupid. What do you consider stupid about it?
    Stone: Where he said that ‘All men are born equal’. That is ridiculous… there are those who must be servants or slaves and others who must be masters. There are those who must be rich and others who must be poor. There are those who must think and make proposals and others who must execute the proposals of the thinkers. There are those that must be loved and others that must be hated. In such situations, you cannot talk of equality. Have you tried to imagine a world where everybody is materially or financially rich? Such a world would be chaotic.
    Messenger : ( Smiles ) I like your explanations. But there is something you’ve said there which is really intriguing and it is that ‘there are those that must be loved and those that must be hated’. Who are those that must be loved and those that must be hated?
    Stone: I wouldn’t like generalizations here. I will take myself as an example. When I was down there, I loved those that were like me, rich like me, civilized and belonged to my class. I hated those that were poor, different, uncivilized or inferior.
    Messenger : Can I ask you a simple question?
    Stone: Please go ahead.
    Messenger: From the moment you were born till the moment you left that world, did you eat just one kind of meal day in day out?
    Stone : Please come on!!! That question is ridiculous. We had a saying down there that ‘Variety is the spice of life.’ If I ate just one meal all my life, I would have died of constipation prematurely. Anybody who wants to live long must eat varieties.
    Messenger : That is something
