A Big Mirror
A long time ago there lived 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 sealing,
the door and even the floor were made of mirror.
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 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 him from all sides, from
above and below. Just in case, the dog bared his teeth- and all the reflections
responded to him 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 keeping up. The dog tossed from one side to another, biting the air- his
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 in
the hall that would make any harm to the dog. The dog died by fighting his own
reflections.
The world doesn't bring good and evil on its own. Everything
that is happening around us is the reflection of our own thoughts, feelings,
wishes and actions. World – is a Big Mirror.
