| There is a legend of a comfort-loving man who died and was borne to the other world where every wish was gratified. No effort, no struggle was required of him. He became bored and said "I can't stand this everlasting bliss any longer; I want to feel there are things I cannot have. I want to go to hell." The attendant replied: "And where do you think you are, sir?"
