There is a legend about a wise man who was sitting outside
his village. A traveler came up and asked him, "What kind of people live
in this village, because I am looking to move from my present one?" The
wise man asked, "What kind of people live where you want to move
from?" The man said, "They are mean, cruel, rude." The wise man
replied, "The same kind of people live in this village too." After
some time another traveler came by and asked the same question and the wise man
asked him, "What kind of people live where you want to move from?"
And the traveler replied, "The people are very kind, courteous, polite and
good." The wise man said, "You will find the same kind of people here
too."
What is the moral of the story?
Generally we see the world not the way it is but the way we
are. Most of the time, other people's behavior is a reaction to our own.
