Borrowed garments never fit well

It is an apt proverb and quite simple to be understood, as a person borrows a shirt so that he may look smart but on the other hand he loses the smartness by wearing a borrowed shirt because it does not fit him well. Everyone has individual differences like shape of body, choice of colour, fitting etc. The people quickly come to know that the garments do not belong the wearer as they do not fit him well.

In the same manner when we use the borrowed ideas in our speech they look odd to others. People know them originally and when they use the views of others their thoughts lose the originality and they sound odd to the listeners. As the borrowed garments do not fit well and they look awkward on the body of wearer. The wearer loses the dignity of his own personality in the same way, borrowed ideas also sport the dignity of the person. One cannot apply others ideas as of his own for long because they remain only for temporary time. He can't use somebody else's thoughts and ideas as one day the reality will be exposed soon.

That's why one should not blindly imitate  others manners and styles of addresses. Everyone has his own background and status. So one should use one's own brain to deal in the society. That's why this proverb is very true for the individuals, societies and nations too. They should not follow others blindly. Nations should also not follow  what other countries are doing, their policies, regimes and issues are different. Each country should follow what best suits them. Each nation has their own customs , traditions, social values which they should follow and abide. They should study the political, historical and economic background of their own otherwise evil will prevail instead of good.
