The story is told of a traveler who, on his way to a city, asked a resident from the city what the city was like, if the people were friendly, etc. In his response, the resident asked the traveler what the people were like in the city from which he was traveling. He said they were a mean, stingy, unhappy lot. The resident of the city said I think you’ll find those here to be the same.
Another traveler happened to stop and ask the same resident the same question, to which he replied with the likewise. But this time the traveler said the folks in the city which he had left were warm, friendly and generous. The resident of the city replied I think you’ll find those here to be the same.
I have found the Villagers--less the one or two percent--to be as happy as they have ever been and delighted at their decision to move here.
“No matter where you go, there you are.”
