COLOURS, NOTHING LESS.

Let's try to put things into a simpler state. Imagine your world painted in black and white. No, no colour, no versatile emerald green, no glorious ruby red, no creamy lilac. Just black and white. Does it make a better picture, or would you prefer some spectrums of colours? It's not a matter between simple and complicated. It's not whether you are a fan of old or contemporary films. It's just about colours.

Who first came up with the black-and-white-world idea? Imagine again. It's black and white. But who told you that white suggests a saint and black, a devil? Because white indicates full presence of light, and black denotes an absence of light? Is too much light a good thing? I'd like to say that there are as many not-so-innocent whites as there are not-that-evil blacks. The two often exchange positions. Thus, the first drawback of picturing the world in black-and-white. Intuition or merely easy assumption?

I know the world is not black and white. Even if I'd like it to go monochromatic, there are a lot of areas covered in grey. Second drawback. 80% black, 50% black, 20% black. There are greys everywhere, each offers different depth and message. Does it make grey a colour? I don't know, I'm not good at classifying. All I know is, some of us are terrified with greys. It's stable uncertainty (yes, oxymoron), it's an in-between, it's sadness and an unnamed state of simply swaying around. Does grey make you sad? Does black and white make you lonely? Are we better off with colours?

I like black and white as much as I like colours. I'd like to think black and white as colours, nothing less. I don't think I will love the world any little less, even if it gets pretty monotonous sometimes.
