I love the spoon parable of Heaven and Hell. Hell is a room where everyone sits at a round table, all with 5 foot long spoons and a bowl of soup sitting in front of them. They starve and are hungry as they are unable to get their own spoon into their bowl of soup or mouths. Heaven has the same setting as Hell, but instead of trying to feed themselves, they feed one-another. Everyone is happy and full because they serve each other.

Though that is old reasoning- because the first thing I thought? "It's not a problem to have a huge spoon if you drink straight from the bowl". So unless the bowl is glued or somehow enchanted to only be able to feed from a spoon, it's a non-issue.
