Story time - we see things not the way they are but the way

 

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.

Very true, agree with Onam

World is mirror of our own behaviour...Thank you Rahul for the great message explained in short story....continue sharing.

Nice story. We see the world as we think and behave.

We can't run from what is there for every place holds the same, whether people, places, or things too...almost everything we experience correlates in reference to something, or someone else somewhere in this world.
Nice one story shared...
