(All that glitters is not Gold)

The truth of this proverb should be obvious to those who live in the artificial world of colors.Appearance can be deceptive.What appears to be gold may be copper or even something worse. Something which sparkles like a diamond can not be a diamond in real.Likewise if we come to talk about the world of people,we may find many persons who glitter and shine, but are not genuine and valuable,in fact.They try to create a favorable impression and we are often deceived and cheated by their outward look or appearance.We forget or neglect the fact that there also exist wolfs in sheep's clothing.

Plato said long ago that the human eye is not dependable for knowing the truth.Whatever looks fancy or shines, we blindly like it.For instance: if we go to the market with the purpose to purchase a T.V.We enter a shop where both new and second-hand T.v's are available.They are pretty alike and identical.The appearance of second-hand T.V's is the same as that of the new ones. Now if we purchase the second-hand T.V, it must have some faults consequently it will not last long.In short,it will be nothing else but nine days' wonder.

It is rational advice for us to be on the alert and watchful to differentiate between right and wrong whenever our eyes are charmed by the outer beauty of something.We must not taken in by sparkling and glittering objects and we should not neglect or ignore rough diamonds when they come to be chosen.
