A long time ago there was a great Shah. He ordered to
build a beautiful palace which had many wonderful things in it. Among other
curiosities in the palace there was a hall, where all the walls, the roof, the
door and even the floor was made of mirrors. The mirrors were so clear and
smooth that visitors didn’t understand at once that there was a mirror in front
of them - so accurately the mirrors would reflect the objects. Moreover, the
walls of this hall were made in such a way that they created an extraordinary
increased echo.
Once, a dog ran into the hall and froze in surprise in
the middle of the hall, a whole pack of dogs surrounded it from all sides, from
above and below. The dog bared his teeth - and all the reflections responded to
it in the same way. Frightened, the dog frantically barked - the echo imitated
the bark and increased it many times. The dog barked even harder - and the echo
was kept up. The dog tossed from one side to another, biting the air - his
multiple reflections also tossed around snapping their teeth.
In the morning, the guards found the miserable dog,
lifeless and surrounded by a million reflections of lifeless dogs. There was
nobody, who would do any harm to the dog. The dog died… fighting with his own
reflections.
The world doesn’t bring good or evil on its own.
Everything that is happening around us is the reflection of our own thoughts,
feelings, wishes and actions.
The world is a big mirror.
