There is this little story this reminds me of too.

A guy is traveling down the road and sees an old man on the side of the road. So he decides to stop and talk to the old man to get information about a town he is traveling to up ahead. He asks the man what the town is like up ahead and if it's a nice town. The old man replies by asking him a question, "Tell me, what was the town like you are coming from?" The guy replies with a glow of pleasure and says, "Oh it was a wonderful town, so many nice people and I really enjoyed living there". To that the old man said to him, "Well, that is what the town you are heading to will like too".

A little while later another man is traveling down the road and sees the old man. He too decides to stop and talk to the old man. This man asks the old man the same question about what the town up ahead is like. And the old man asks him too, "What was the town like that you are coming from"? This man said, "Oh, it was just awful, the people were mean and I could not get along with them, it was terrible". To this man, the old man replies, "That is exactly how this town ahead is going to be like for you too".
