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?

its quite true that the world is a mirror..... and people tend to react to your actions just as per Einstein's law that every action has its equal and opposite reaction.... its nice to have a good frnd in this world... who will take you for as you are... where you can enjoy your happy moments and relieve yourself in the sadder ones.... though not every person we meet is ready to help us out of the ditch.... but neither do we wait and help.. so expecting everyone to be kind invokes that we should start behaving like that with the world and then expect it out of them atleast..... sorry if i swayed away from the main course of discussion... but this is what i felt about it.... :)

Thank you for such wonderful and thoughtful discussion. Well, just as you said all the faces in the world are mirrors, What we give is what we take. Sharing love and happiness is the best way to gain love and happiness.
