Reflection of Life
Once upon a time, there was a mystical place deep in the words known as the castle of one-thousand reflection.
A pleasant and happy young man was told about this place and decided to pay a visit to this castle. After travelling for many days, he arrived at his destination. Upon seeing the castle, he said to himself, “What a beautiful place!”
He peeped into the hall to check if there was anyone there. He tock off his baseball cap and scratched his head wondering why nobody was around in such a beautiful castle.
As he walked futher, he was extremely surprised to see one-thousand young men talking off their caps, waving and smiling at him. He did not know thw walls in the hall were covered with one-thousand mirrors. He was very happy with his new discovery and thought to himself, “This is awonderful place. I will come back again.”
Soon, news about this wonderful place spread. There was another young man who was unhappy with life and wanted to visit the castle to find happiness.
After many hard days of traveling, he finally arrived and grumbled at the mystical castle. He said to himself, “What a horrible place!” As he walked into the room of one-thousand mirrors, he saw one-thousand sad and unfriendly-looking young men, staring angrily at him and appearing as hostile as him. Not only was he angry but he was also terrified of the images. He thought to himself, “What a terrible place with so many angry aggressive faces. I swear I will never return here again.”
