Shades of colour

Optimism vs pessimism

Part 1 shades of colour

rainbows show the brightest colours in storms that know how to ruin. Red is anger that causes wars and can bring down a nation. Green is jealousy like how we need to steal land which causes deforestation. We handle things with such destruction that our egos hold our integrity and put us in places where we choose violence over empathy. Yellow is the shade of envy which comes together with green’s jealousy. Orange is greed as we are happy enough to watch people suffer and struggle for things like basic needs such as food. It’s not right but that’s sometimes the world's mood. Blue is pain that leaves it’s scars and marks on a person's soul as they lose sight of themselves in search of causing damage. Pink is pride like how we don’t care who’s caught in crossfire as long as it’s not us, we will add to the ammo mission being fired. The shade that is purple weighs down many and that is abandonment as we are so easily left out and forgotten. No cares if we wither away and become rotten. There are three main shades to a storm; those are white which is the feeling of numbness, black which is the void we feel within us and grey which is the feeling of sadness. You might have thought black would have been darkness. Darkness is a state not a feeling so what emotion falls perfectly with darkness? Nothing more than the feeling of void.

Part 2 shades of colour

Rainbows and storms are seen as beautiful but sometimes as you know their shades can be deadly, they can punish as well as teach things to grow. Red is the passion of love and how it brings things together and not apart. Green is the feeling of worth which can be in self or in others as it begins to open up your heart. Yellow runs hand in hand with green as worth mixes in with yellows' feelings of being valued. Feeling worthy brings out all kinds of values that can disarm any feud. Orange is giving through generosity and helping a hand to those who need it. Blue is the feeling of pleasure and how it feels good to be yourself and not give a shit. Pink is selflessness as you put people's feelings and needs into consideration as you offer a supporting shoulder. Purple is the feeling of belonging as the world starts to feel like home and it’s not looking like that much colder. The storm's shade of white is the feeling of peace as it tames all doubt. Grey is the feeling of strength as you're strong enough to throw all your worries out. Black is the feeling of change as you embrace the unknown and all it’s new found possibilities.
