Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the
House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this
place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up
the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the
doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it
could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000
other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as
his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great
smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought
to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit
it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not
quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He
slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into
the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back
at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs
growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a
horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do
you see in the faces of the people you meet?
