As he approached the city, he saw a sage sitting under a tree.
" hello Sir,Good morning " said the traveler. "Do you know this city?"
"Indeed I do," said the sage.
"Then perhaps you could tell me what kind of people live here?"
"I certainly can," said the sage.
" But first tell me what kind of people live in your own city ? "
"My own city?" said the traveler,
his eyes shifting back over his shoulder.
"It is an evil place.
The people are nasty.
They watch you all the time with suspicious eyes, and
they whisper about you behind your back.
Stay away if you know what's good for you."
"Well, I am afraid you are out of luck, my friend," said the sage.
"Unfortunately, you will find exactly the same kind of people here."
A short while later, a second traveler approached the city. He too saw the sage under the tree and decided to inquire about the inhabitants.
"I will be glad to tell you," said the sage. "But first tell me what kind of people live in your own city."
"My own city?" said the second traveler.
"It is such a wonderful place.
The people are kind and considerate.
They are always eager to help each other in any way they can."
"I'm happy to tell you, my young friend," said the sage, "that you have come to the right place. Those are just the kind of people you will find here. I think you will find this city a most compatible place."
The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper
- Yeats
If one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others.
If one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval.
If one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.
-Lao Tzu
