“You were so nice to me when I was having my problems, but now that you’re having yours, it seems there’s not a thing I can do for you. You’re all locked up in that little world of yours, and when I try knocking on the door, you just sort of look up for a second and go right back inside.”
— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
gone inside to welcome you in from the door you are knocking on .... instead of looking you from the top and making you more uncomfortable ... Makes no sense of hospitality to me... My guest are often well treated even if they are not my dearest ones...
