AESOP FABLE


Aesop fable,"The Jay and the Peacock" made me to believe in myself. "It is not only feathers that make fine birds." One may have materials to cover or hide his weaknesses but that does not make any different. You are just cheating yourself, your esteem. It is about you being yourself, not being exactly like others as the changes that you may make are just superficial. You may have beautiful ‘feathers’ to hide your ‘impairment’ (weakness) but it does not mean that you are someone else or someone new a total different that who you really are. What is ‘fine’ depends on your capabilities and abilities. To be someone else is not impossible, though, but you may feel odd trying and if you fail as the feathers fall one by the truth will be unveiled.My next interpretation will be in term of value. What is beautiful (fine) does not mean presents the true value. Most of us tend to value something from the appearance whereas to judge by appearance may not be genuine because quality requires one to value from different perspective. Therefore, value is a broad term because one may define it differently, but in evaluating you should not only look at appearance, at one aspect.
