Are we like onions?
An onion… a vegetable used in cooking in almost every household. A mixed shade of purple, pink, white, yellow or black when rotten! It has many layers; you find a new one every time you cut a little deeper.
It is the same with the people you meet every day, in every phase of life. So what makes one an onion? What makes one an onion is more than the fifty shades of their soul and the layers of masks they wear. You discover a new one every time you try to look into someone a bit more closely.
You find a lot of people having different attitudes towards different people at the same time. A person who you feel is very nice may seem to be a totally different human being after you spend some days with him/her. You may discover that people who are very often smiling and cheerful may be the most heartbroken when you draw closer.
To recognize the true human being, you would slowly have to peel off their polished mask. You will have to do it with a patient heart and a tough mind as peeling an onion always makes you cry! As you reach the innermost layers, you will discover the true self of a person, a soul full of different hues of emotions all painted on a single canvas one above the other, trying to hide the others underneath
