A MATTER OF PERCEPTION

A wise man was sitting outside his village. A traveler approached him and asked, "what kind of people live in this village, because I'm 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 and rude." The wise man replied,"the same kind of people live in this village too." Time passed and another traveler came by and asked the same question. The wise man asked him," what kind of people live where you want to move from?" 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."
