'A Negro one day took off his clothes and began rubbing his skin with snow.
When asked he did it he replied:
"Perhaps I will whiten myself."
A wise man passing said:
"Cease tormenting yourself because your body will rather blacken the snow than lose it's own colour." '
Lokman, First Great Fabulist and Wisest Man of the Ancient East.
(C. 1100 B.C.)
This is to all of those who wish to change themselves and be something that the world wants them to be. Your body doesn't want to change, and it can only end badly. Be comfortable in your own skin and wish not for that of others.
