PUSHING NEUTRALITY

Good morning. Me without makeup, under the weather, unedited. My camera sucks so I don't need a lot of editing (brightening, trying to get rid of graininess) to make me look "good," haha. My room is mostly Red, bronze/brown, and gold, with a lot of textures like wood, velvet, satin and silk. Over time I've surrounded myself with these colors and touches....Wonder what that means?

Red is an appetite and conversation stimulant. Red is a fiery color that at times represents both hatred and passion. Red also represents power; thus the use of it for celebrities on the red carpet and red ties for powerful executives. People who prefer brown are often conventional and orderly. The negative meaning of brown can be a repressed personality or a lazy person. Brown is the color of the earth and is associated with the material side of life. Gold symbolizes wealth used wisely, but it is also the symbol of good health. People who favor the color gold are optimistic.

Passionate. Powerful. Traditional. Optimistic. That's pretty much me in a nutshell, though I don't like calling myself "powerful." That must be the "repressed" personality part. My desire to be earthy and earthly so I may find balance between the bold of blood and gold. Even though I always imagined my aura to be purple, I always revert back to red.

Given that each of us have a colored aura, does one attract another based on color "compatibility" or personal attraction to that color? Keeping in mind that "color" only represents certain attributes and stimulus, do we see "patterns" in the people we seek, reject, befriend, and feed with our attention? Is it a natural attachment for us or are we forcing ourselves to become a deeper or lighter shade of a specific hue? And what of those who decide to remain grey-- neutral for everyone to praise and deny their camaraderie? A neutral color can go with anything, never satisfying a master purpose but to make sure the extremes simmer down and fade.

Either I choose to be conquered by the grey zone, and but an infant neutral to everything because I am ignorant, or enlightened by it, as an old man seen and observed the world with never really picking a side. For someone who wants to be remembered in this world, why decide a safe zone? For what does one remember the neutral Swiss for anything other than great pocket knives and cheese? Then again, why choose to find something to be remembered by when one first cannot find a purpose to live? Do we need a purpose, or is life but a dream?




I already have answers to most of these questions. If you don't know, then that's your answer. You don't know. If that's the end of the line for you, that knowledge stops there, then I guess that's the end of this blog.

But if you have a feeling that if you ask, you will be answered, then go find out.
