Rose-Garden

I once heard a story about a beautiful rose garden with a single weed growing in it. Two people went into the garden to have a look at it. When the first person came out he was asked what he had seen. “I have seen the most beautiful roses you could ever wish to see,” he responded. The second person was asked the same question. “I saw an ugly weed,” was the reply.

There are those who look at life positively and see in it everything that is beautiful, and those who look at it negatively and see everything that is ugly and unpleasant. How can one person look at something and find it beautiful while another person looks at the same thing and finds it ugly? Maybe beauty and ugliness emanate from the onlooker and not the object being looked at?
