Emotions and ideas of a Rainbow
“The rainbow has such a beautiful tint to it. The colors permeate into my very soul.” “What do you mean permeate?” “The red seeps into my skin with anger, enjoyment, love, and life. Red is a strong color that makes me dance inside with desire. It gives me the energy of love but says hello I am dangerous. It brings excitement. Makes your heart rate go up quickly and can contribute to arousal in ourselves. Red stresses the intensity of the positive and negative thoughts that corrode our very being. Red prompts quicker decisions in us that can be rash decisions at times. In Africa red can symbolize mourning and death of life.”

Mariann, this was an intriguing read! I wonder if this would make a good prologue for a bigger story?
The comments we make reveal more about ourselves to others that the ones upon whom we comment. But they can also do irreparable harm to the targets of our comments--or provide healing. Let us measure our words carefully, mindful of their possible effect. Let us treasure & embrace being "woke" to others & being known for how much we care.
True Givers in society exposes the insecurities of others, hence the hostility they receive. And yet, those hostile people will clamour for the attentions of a Giver when they are in need of aid. It's tragic and can put people off from giving anything at all. Well done.
This is a good story that really makes you think. Well done, Mariann!
Great story. We tend not to recognize goodness and treat the person well. It might be why so many people are afraid of helping others.
❤️Dear Rachel, Nice story!
