Socrates- What is it like to live here

 One afternoon, Socrates was standing outside the gates of Athens when he noticed a traveller who had been staring at him for a long time.

Socrates asked the man why he had come to Athens.

“I am thinking of moving to Athens”, the man said.
“What is it like to live here?” He added.

Socrates looked at him.
“First, would you tell me what it
was like in your home city?”
The man replied: “Oh, it was
awful. Everyone stabs you in the
back and wants to steal money
from you”

Frowning, Socrates told him:
“Well, you will find the same thing here. I suggest you go
somewhere else”

Socrates was standing there a few hours more when another man approached him. This man too had just arrived in Athens and was considering moving to the city. He also asked Socrates, “Can you tell me what it is like to live here?”

Socrates asked, “First, would you tell me what it was like to live there where you come from?”
“Where I come from, all the people work together and help each other”, said the man,
“Kindness is everywhere and you are never treated with anything but complete respect.” He added.

“Well”, replied Socrates, “You will find the same thing here. Welcome to Athens”.

As we can see Socrates had two different answers, even when he was talking about the same city The question is why? Comment on the points you consider important and share it.
