Shaded View
Yanni is borned yellow pupils, he sees the world in a happy shade of yellow. Being a morning person, he wakes up everyday full of zest, looking forward to live the day to the fullest. He's optimistic, fun and humorous, always having the time of his life.
Bob, on the other hand, has blue pupils. He is constantly depressed. Bob felt that everyone is condemning him for every little thing he does. Growing up full of fear of the world, Bob never felt loved or appriciated in his life before.
Randy is an angry man, he's always full of rage. He's constantly pissed off, in his world of red. Through his red pupils, he can't see eye to eye with anyone. Deep inside, he's fucking dissappointed with the world, but can only show it throught his anger.
Now Sarah is a special girl, she's unlike the rest. Instead of an iris with a single tone, hers is a beautiful array of every possible color. She feels a wide range of emotions constantly. What made Sarah so special is her ability of empaty. She can see the world in other person's color and feel connected with them.
One day, Sarah was on her way home when she bump into the other three. Yani was couldn't stop laughing, Bob was crying on the ground and Randy was shouting out valugrities.
Sarah: "Oh dear, wat happen?"
Yani : "oh its so funny, u should have been here. Bob walked into an open drain cover and fell. Its hilarious...."
Bob : "I'm so stupid, i can't do anything right....."
Randy: "Wat's his fucking problem? Bob here is injured and he jus laugh at him? And that stupid bob, such a faggot, can he speak up for himself?"
At that moment, it was clear to Sarah. Seeing in yellow, she could see that its indeed a funny sight. From a blue point of view, she's sad that bad things always happens to bob. In a red perspective, Sarah was dissapointed that both yani and bob counldn't help bob... she even more disappointed that randy didn't help out. These situations has to stop, she have to help them understand how they can live in harmony.
To Yani she said, " Yani, i understand its a rather comical situation to you but there are times where laughter is not the best medicine. Happiness build on others tradegy is despicable. You must learn to be more serious.
Then to Bob she spoke, " Bob, bad things happens to you because you allow them to. You make a big ho ha out of all your failures. Learn to appriciate your success. You seems to fail more cause you couldn't forgive youself when you fail.
Finally at Randy she shouted, "You complained at everyone all the time, did u even take a look at yourself? Have u done anything to improve the situations you are in? Has your anger and complains solve any problems?"
The three of them stood there dumbfounded. She hit the nail on the head. No one has understand how they felt till now. The three of them thanked her for changing their thinking and promised to changed....
That night Sarah recieve a call from Bob, " you bitch," he sobbed," I was thinking about wat you said and it doesn't make any sense at all. How could you trick me into admitting that i cause shit to happen to myself ? Do you know how stupid you make me feel? Now I'm unlucky, stupid and weak... thanks for nothing bitch!"
Before Sarah could react to that called, Yani sent her an SMS. "Its kinda funny what happen jus now. It turns out to be a big joke. Come to think of it,you must be lying when you said that you find the situation funny too, cause I don't see you laughing at all. Stop acting like you know everything. The worse person there was you. You bloody hypocrite."
Then the phone rang again, this time its Randy," You made a fool out of me just now you bitch! Letting me think how stupid i am. Did you do anything to help also? No! Instead you lectured us for no reason, what have we done to you. Go mind your own business."
Sarah is devastated. What's happening? She's only trying to help. Tears poured from her colourful eyes. Tears of every color, tears that convay every emotion.... Sarah relised something. You can changed a person's thinking, but you can never change his point of view.
Till this day, you can see Sarah alone, away from the crowd. She have seen through everything. There's no need to change the world, no one wants to be changed anyway. The world has been the same till this day cause it will never be changed. Sarah's beautiful eyes has turn dull by the truths she've seen. It will never shine again.
Sometimes, when she think of back of that day, tears will flow from her eyes. When sunlight caught the tears hanging on her cheek, it splits into a beautiful spectrum of every shades. At that moment, Sarah felt she was true to herself again......
Bob, on the other hand, has blue pupils. He is constantly depressed. Bob felt that everyone is condemning him for every little thing he does. Growing up full of fear of the world, Bob never felt loved or appriciated in his life before.

So your message is that we stereotype people too often? and that when we stereotype people we risk treating them in a biased manner in which we would not have otherwise have treated them?
And most of the time, people are not what we make them out to be, so treating them in a biased manner will only lead to more misunderstanding?
I couldn't agree more. Many times, we judge people by the first impression they give us, and treat them based on how good or bad this first impression is. But our first impression is often wrong, and by treating people based on first impressions alone, we risk causing misunderstanding like how Sarah has.
