The story of the curious puppy begins in a place near a forest, where there was an abandoned house, it seemed that many years had passed without anyone entering the premises, the puppy was afraid and did not approach for fear of finding something unknown.
However, a seed of curiosity was planted. The next day he returned and came a little closer to the house, but dared not enter, the sun began to warm and the temperature became unbearable, the puppy needed a place to rest from the warm rays.
- After a little hesitation.
- He decided to come in.
- The place was completely uninhabited.
- ” Good morning!” The puppy said.
- But no one answered.
- In one corner was a ladder.
- The little animal decided to approach.
- He didn’t see anyone.
- Then he decided to go up very cautiously.
- So the story of the curious puppy changed completely.
“We make a living from what we receive, but we make a living from what we give. “John Maxwell?
When the puppy finished climbing the stairs, he arrived in a large room, upon entering, to his surprise, encountered something he did not expect, there were hundreds of puppies in the room like him, everyone was waiting.
The curious puppy was very happy. The others seemed very kind, so he decided to raise his paw and greet them, everyone answered him at once. He yelled at her in a sign of friendship. The rest too. What a beautiful place! The puppy thought. ” I’ll be back when I can!
Days passed and this time another puppy arrived, it was different. Much more frightened and prevented, it happened just like the first one, he saw the house and didn’t want to get close, because he was so scared, so he stayed away from it.
The second puppy observed that there were many nice places near the house, so he decided to return, but always stayed away from the abandoned house, however, one day a torrential storm fell, he had no choice: he had to. enter the house.
Like the first, he entered through a hole that dug fast, once inside he observed everything very carefully, saw the stairs, but did not approach, passed a moment and began to get cold. He thought that maybe if he went up to the second floor, he’d feel a little more warmth, that’s how he armed himself with courage.
Along the way, he saw the big room. The snout emerged and imagined that the place was uninhabited, but when he entered he encountered hundreds of puppies like him, he immediately stood guard, ready to attack, the other puppies did the same. He fought aggressively and the others did the same. As soon as he could, he quickly left the house. “I’ll never come back!” He said, what a horrible place?!
He left so fast he couldn’t see an old sign on the floor. This seemed to be a warning. The sign read “House of Mirrors. “Neither the first puppy nor the second had realized that they could only see the reflection of their own image.
The story of the curious puppy shows us a reality that we often neglect; what we see in others is essentially a reflection of ourselves; At the same time, we receive something similar to what we give from others; anyone who relates to the world on a loving path receives kindness; who does it aggressively gets the same thing.
Humans are genetically endowed with enormous sociability. We were born to live in a group. It is part of our biological and cultural structure. We may be selfish, but the band is always on everyone’s horizon. Therefore, others are an essential reference. Finally, they act like a “mirror house. “What we see in them has a lot to do with what we see in ourselves, as in the story of the curious puppy.
When we struggle with the world, we should ask ourselves more questions about ourselves than about others. Or maybe we’re the ones connecting with others who aren’t that positive?The story of the curious puppy leads us to ask this question.
