Colours

They say a leopard never changes its spots, or a tiger its stripes.

But man can change colours.

People have two sides to them: one fixed, one variable.

Your upbringing, company and learning instil some fundamental values that become your edifice. They are your bones that structure you and likely to be the compass in your journey of life.

Then there are influences, learnings, introspections that keep moulding your life. You evolve with interaction and expertise.

Paint stripes on a toad, he does not become a tiger.

Despite the outward postures critical moments bring out either your best or worst.

People are like tea bags. They show their true colours when dipped in hot water.

People from all walks of life come in different hues and shades and add colour to our lives.

We do have our affinities and preferences towards certain shades - some similar that make us flock together, while some opposites attract us.

Animals haven't been given the power to change their spots or stripes but humans can turn a new leaf at their will and change to add new colours to themselves.

Imagine how boring the world be if all were of the same colour. And how dull it would be if people were colourless.

We all have earned our stripes, through the colours within us. So, spread the goodness to create the beautiful rainbow.

When an elephant dies it leaves its ivory, a tiger leaves its stripes and a man his colours - Indonesian Proverb
