One finds the gate to Heaven and knocks.
"Who art thou?" "It is I–" "There is no room here for thee and me!" The gate is closed.
After a time one finds again the gate to Heaven and knocks.
"Who art thou?" "It is I–" "There is no room here for thee AND me!!" The gate is closed.
After greater time still the one finds the gate to Heaven and knocks.
"Who art thou?" "IT IS THYSELF!!!"
The gate is gone.
