A middle-aged man went to see their town’s wiseman.
The middle-aged man started complaining about everything and everyone around him, including his employees, wife, and children.
The wiseman listened carefully and then said: ” There was a room in a village which was covered with one thousand mirrors.
A little girl went to this room every day to play, and anything she did was like one thousand children were doing at the same time.
She was very happy that she had one thousand friends. She loved this room and thought it was the happiest place on earth.
But this room was once the host of a sad and depressed man, and there were one thousand depressed men in the room.
Another time, an angry man went to the room, and there were one thousand angry men in the room. He raised his hand to hit the other angry men, and one thousand more hands were raised to hit him. There, he thought this room was the worst place on earth.”
The wiseman sighed and continued: ” The world is just like this room full of mirrors, anything we do, it reflects back at us. If we make heaven of it, we will see heaven back, and if we make a hell of our surroundings, we will definitely see hell back.”
It’s indeed wise advice
Thanks for your constant kind visit dear.❤️
It’s a pleasure
❤️🙏
Thanks Ned.🌷
Another good lesson for all of us, Laleh!
Very kind of you Janet. Sorry it’s been a while since I wasn’t really active reading posts because I’m working on another book project.❤️
Oh, Laleh, I am so excited to know that you’re working on another book! That’s great news! I can’t wait for it!
You’re the best.❤️
True, our world is mostly what we make it!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts dear.
It is true: Our surroundings are reflections of our inner mood. A smile is coming more often to your eyes when you are also smiling. We will not heal the world but we are able to make it more positive – at least for ourselves
True, even changing a bit would be helpful.❤️🙏
Very nice definition for reflection,
Thanks.
❤️❤️❤️
