The Shadow of True Nature

If someone told me that a mountain had shifted from its place, I would believe it—because nature allows even such wonders. But if someone told me that a person had abandoned their true nature, I would never believe it. Human nature is like a seed planted deep within the soil of the heart, and no matter how fierce the sun of time or how merciless the rain of circumstances, that seed can only grow into what it truly is.

In this world, almost anything is possible—seas can dry up, the sky can change its color, even the stars can wander from their orbits—but one thing is impossible: for a human being to change their inherent nature. Whoever a person truly is, they will remain so, no matter how the world shifts.

People may wear masks for a while, sweeten their tone, or pretend to be something they are not. But such acts are temporary. Time is a mirror that strips away every disguise and exposes every lie.

If someone has changed and you object to the change in their tone, your objection is meaningless. Those who change, change completely. They cannot pretend loyalty for long, because eventually, they must return to their true selves.

And when they reveal their true face, you realize they were never who you thought they were. True nature is like a shadow—it may hide for a time, but as the sun shifts, it will always reveal itself So before you trust in someone’s nature, think carefully about the color of that shadow—lest you find yourself standing in the light, yet living with the darkness.
