LifeThe very first breath you take when you start your journey, your life can take form in two colours.Most of our lives are the colour of white. Its empty of experiences but full with expectations. Eager painters waiting and wondering how to fill the white canvas of your life with colours that leave marks, marks, not scars, so its a good thing. So life is like a ball of hope.
Some lives are the colour of black. Grim and sad from the beginning. They were born in places of broken hopes, in places where famine and wars are eternal companions. They were left behind, starved of love and expectations, lack of painters. Sometimes, its fate, but they have bad beginnings, so they have to find and grasp on pieces of scattered light. Only those who believe in life, can go on. So life is like a test of survival skills for them.
Life isn't fair. No matter how hard you try, sometimes you fall. Even so, life goes on for the others, and it will never stop for you either. At these times, life is the colour of red, its not stopping for anyone and its fearless. You just have to get up on your feet and start chasing it again. Maybe, if you try a little bit harder, put in another teaspoon of effort and have faith, life can still work for you. Just like cooking, a teaspoon of salt makes a difference. So life is like a race here.
When you do it right, life is the colour of yellow. You taste the sweet flavour of victory, taking in all the breeze of satisfaction and feel like you are at the top of the world. What more can you ask for? So life is like a sun.
When you simply feel at ease, with all your love ones with you, life is the colour of pink. You are never alone when life is pink. Laughter and tears accompanying you, so are the people who care. Love is in the air. It is the centre of your life, every moment matters as it is always meaningful when you experience it with someone you care. Your life is lively and happy. So life is like a dance.
When life starts, it starts with two colours, so when it ends, it ends with two colours. If you found what you seek in life, understand what life is about, and you are in tranquility, having no fear for its end, life is the colour of white again. You will leave with peace. Some say life is like a candle..but it ends when light goes off..I believe with every death, there's another birth. Life goes on. So life is like a wheel.
If you have sinned throughout your life, do as you please and yet found no company nor satisfaction, you fear for the end as it scares you, the unknown when you still want to manipulate and yet you can't this time. Then life is the colour of blue, sorrow and cold. You will leave in solitude. It doesn't matter to you if your death brings another birth as your mind is too full of yourself. So life is like ashes for you, it will follow the wind and stop leaving marks in people.
What colour is your life now? How will you define its colour?
