How Can This Be?

Lazarus and the rich man both die, and go wherever you think that they went-one to eternal bliss, and the other to unspeakable, gasping horror. While it may be easy for us to understand how the day of Lazarus' death might be deemed better than the day of his birth, how can we reconcile this Scripture to the..."fate" of the rich man?

Just to eliminate any confusion.

Thanks for adding more confusion.
