QAF's Article

COLORS ON EARTH

Once upon a time there were two colours, brown and blue. Each represented their place on Earth. One day brown met blue and their combination originated a new colour; green. Earth was a happy place with them until humans came into their life. The humans were fascinated by the powers of these colours. Soon they began fighting for the possession of those colours and thus, created the human discrimination.

The humans took the bias behaviour to another level and started separating people by their complexion and physical appearance. God made this planet as one and humans divided it with their prejudice. The practice still continues and has a more severe affects on human life.

It seems like a normal thing now. People face rejection in social groups, peers, matrimony, jobs and even at education. The reason is mostly our representation at first sight. Our personality is our representation. True, but what made us who we truly are? Is it our talent and knowledge that matters the most or our appearance on which we have no command?

Paulo Coelho said, “Don’t worry. Nothing is wrong with looking like a fool if what you are doing is far from foolish.” So, which fool we would like to be? Think wisely.
