Loved this comment on one of my recent podcasts:

Two families roll into a new town and ask the old man at the gate what the people are like.
First family: “Back home they were selfish, cold, always looking for something to hate.”
Old man: “That’s what you’ll find here.”
Second family: “Back home they were decent, generous, easy to live with.”
Old man: “That’s what you’ll find here.”
Someone watching asks why he lied to one of them. He didn’t. You don’t move to a new town. You bring the one you already live in.
