Actually swans and ducks at the Mill Pond in Richmond Hill illustrate the idea of people gravitating towards people with the same ideas or interests. Although it is said opposites attract and even mate, there are often more similarities than differences in most relationships. In the work environment, the complainers find each other, the hard workers find each other and the friendly nice people find each other- everyone avoids the ones who are not similar! Our friends tend to have similar natures, otherwise it becomes too difficult to spend time with negative people in a social situation. There can be lively debate and differences of opinions of course as it keeps activities alive. At the end of it all, there is usually a friendly compromise! So when you review your own flock, who do you see? Is it like looking in a mirror?
... great minds think alike ...
