The Monk and The Merchant

"In an entrance of a small city a monk and his trainee was walking when a merchant stopped them asking:

- How are the people of this city? From the city that I come from they are nasty, selfish, arrogant, really bad people.

The master monk looked at him and said:

- You will find the same people here.

The merchant turn his back and went away.

Five minutes passed and other merchant came and asked:

- How are the people of this city? From the city that I come from they are friendly, kind, always prepared to help other, really nice people.

The master monk looked at him and said:

- You will find the same people here.

The merchant opened a big smile, thanked the Monk and walked to the center of the city.

The novice was chocked and asked:

- Master, how you can get two different answers to the same question?

And the master with a smile in his face replied:

- People will treat you the same way that you treat them. So, you will only find what you look for, no matter what it is. "

Somebody told me that story long ago and each day I believe more and more about it. If you wish love, give love, if you wish friends, be a friend, if you want that people treat you with respect treat them with respect too. I believe on it and you ?

My thoughts, now it is your turn. What do you think?
