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?
