A Story

  Once an old man was sitting at the entrance of a town. A young man
  approached him and said: "I am not from here. I come from far away.
  Tell me old man, how are the people of this town?"

  Instead of replying to him, the old man asked back: "And in the town
  from where you come, how were the people?" The young man, responding
  temperamentally, blurted: "Egotistic and wicked, so much so that I
  could no longer take it. That is why I preferred to leave!"

  The old man said sympathetically: "Pity, my dear. I shall advise you
  to continue on your way. People here are equally wicked and all are
  egotistic."

  A little later, another young man approached the same old man and
  said: "Greetings to you who is wise with age! I should like to
settle
  down in this place. Tell me, how are the people who live in this
  town?"

And, the old man asked him: "Tell me first, where from do you come,
and how were the people there?"

  The young man said in an enthusiastic voice: "Honest, good, and
  welcoming! I had only friends there, and oh, how I was pained to
  leave them!"

The old man said: "Well, here, you will also find only honest
people,
welcoming, and full of kindness."

  A merchant who was watering his camels not far from these exchanges
  and had heard all, asked the old man: "How is it possible, old man,
  who I know to be wise, to give two truthful, but diametrically
  opposite, replies to the same question? Is it a case of April
Fools?"

"My son," said the old man, "Each one carries, in his heart, his own
universe. And that is what he will find every place he goes."
