White

Recently things which are perceived to be good have greatly troubled me and so it comes as no surprise that I have started having a firm dislike for the colour white. White has been regarded as a beacon for thruth, peace, calm and serenity. Though this maybe true, I treat it as absolute horse shit. I mean why treat it as a symbol of purity when it possibly is the most impure colour one can percieve of. It takes seven damn colours to make this holier than thou hue(what a waste of sensory pleasure). Indians traditionally love fair women. Indians still have a fascination for white skin. Everything white ranging from American to Bosnian has entranced the Indian imagination. White presidents, white pornstars, white strippers...we love them all. So the mystery deepens, what is it with this seemingly harmless colour that has all people in a frenzy. Why is it that when an Indian beggar sings God's verse comes close to us we spurn him, but at the same time marvel at a white Hare Rama Hare Krishna hippie's spirituality and consider him the noblest soul alive. What makes the Taj Mahal so beautifu. Is it the colour? Why is it that we at the same moment shroud people with white and clad widows with this hideous colour. Why does it try and dominate both our sorrows and joys?My basic complaint is that there are so many more which could reign supreme, but why white. There possibly couldnt be anything more pure than the colour black. Black could disguise you in the night and you wouldnt be found out till daylight. Green is the colour of God. Its the colour he tried to paint the whole world with and was partly successful till he created the functionally faulty human brain which is wiping it away in ppursuit of the God forsaken colour 'WHITE'. There is lavender, yellow, blue, pink, red and so many more .....so many more that capture our emotions in a manner far superior. My basic assumption is that people inherently do not want to be responsible for anything. White gives them this sense of accomplishment. With its disgraceful neutrality, people assume they dont need to make a stand. They could just stand there reflecting all the radiation that is thrown upon them. What they clearly forget is that its not only radiation....there is gonna be alot of shit thron at you and then it becomes mighty tough to wash it away. And even if you do your never the same colour again. You become paler till there is nothing left of you and metamorphosise into absolute nothingness. Think about it.
