“The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice.”
William Makepeace Thackeray
There isn’t really much to add to this, is there? Wherever you go, there you are!

The only piece I would ask is that we as a society continue to offer guidance to our children in their desire to seek every new reflection.
And don’t grumble about every little thing, because what you focus on becomes your reality!
