Leopards probably really like their spots.

Who wouldn't? Have you ever seen a leopard and thought, "She should really touch up those roots" or "If she dropped 5-10 pounds, she'd look so much better." Nope. Leopards are just gorgeous.

This is a classic on a classic.

Exactly, lilbrook! I was thinking about how people try to change other people, or at least hope they will change. The old saying, a leopard can't change its spots, came to mind. But then I thought further, and I thought about how when people try to change people who are already just fine the way they are. I want to have the confidence to say I like myself the way I am!

Like this. Nice twist and so true.

Sagacious says,

Leopards are stuck with spots whether they like it or not. I think it's incumbent on the leopard to come to terms with and, in time, perhaps even grow to love their inherent spottiness. If they can do that, others will begin to look past the spots and see the real leopard that lies within. It's a self-image and self-acceptance thing.

Dragonflower says,

Exactly, Sag12!
