I always liked that story of heaven and hell, where a man sees hell - it's a giant banquet table filled with wonderful food and all are sat in their place. However, they all have to eat using spoons that are about 4 foot in length - and none of them are able to feed themselves. All are starving despite this extravagant feast.
The man then sees heaven; same table, same spoons, same rules. But the people are feeding each other, and all are having a great time.
Doubtlessly not intended to be accurate in any way, shape or form, but an interesting idea.
..."Hell is other people"
