YOU FIND WHAT YOU EXPECT
The Greek philosopher, Socrates, was sitting by the roadside one day, when he was approached by a traveller who was making his way towards Athens. The traveller asked:
“What sort of people live in Athens?” So Socrates asked him:
“What sort of people live in your own town?”
“Awful,” the traveller said. “They are horrible, lying layabouts.”
And Socrates replied:
“I am sorry to tell you that you will find the people of Athens to be just the same as you have found your own people.”
Soon another traveller came by, who also asked:
“What sort of people live in Athens?” And Socrates asked him:
“What sort of people live in your own town?”
“Marvellous people,” the second travel- ler said; “kind, generous, friendly, hon- est people.”
Socrates smiled and said:
“I am pleased to tell you that you will find the people of Athens to be just the same as you have found your own people!”
