Yes, you read that a-right. I mean colour, whereby we used to eat only the insects that had dull shadings and not the the bright markings; that we use to paint our fingernails and faces with the best match to our skin tones; with which we decide which types of eyes we like our men to have (or girls, for you lesbians and straight guys).
I often get so caught up in the tiny little things that sometimes (oft-times) I miss something that's right in front of me. Again, I mean colours. Have you ever stopped to really think about how a colour makes you feel? Therapists of different media all use colour, in some way or another, in their practises. If you look at the normal, 1980's style doctor, such as I grew up with, you see that his bottles of pills and medication were all of different shades of brown or blue or green, sometimes even the odd clear one. Then we move on to colour therapists, who use combinations of colour according to you personal preferences to affect a "healing" in whichever area or areas of your life are in need of it.
Let's discuss this a little bit. Think of blue. What do you feel when you think of blue? I personally don't like it, and yet it seems to be one of the most common used colours in clothing, sometimes shoes, make-up and various bedding sets. To me, as a cool colour, blue is cold. It's the colour that brings to mind for me the days when you either had a fire at night or you died like a freeze-dried bug.
And then, suddenly, you get different shades of blue. OH, MY WORD!! Different shades of blue!? Hell, yes. Turquoise (it's a blut, not a green), aquamarine, skyblue, cobalt blue, midnight blue, electric blue, navy blue. There's still a whole list of blues to go through, but I don't know what it is, so go look up for yourselves, you lazy bunch! Just joking, I've added a link to get you started here. If the link doesn't work from here, you'll have to Googlepedia Blue and start off at Wikipedia. The buggers have to have provable sources for every article, so start with the Wiki, and if it seems you can get somewhere with it, use the sources as a diving board.
Right, enough about blue.
Do you have any idea how beautiful your skin looks to me? That unblemished Coffee-and-Cream of certain of the local tribes, where you feel you could drink the owner of such skin and have enough leftover afterwards for the world to share some. What about the pale and freckled look? I LOVE IT!! My friend JM is a ginger and he has the most amazing freckles and his hair isn't a flat-out "ow! my eyes" as people are wont to expect. (Red hair, by the way, is an evolutionary adaption whereby certain bodies were altered to form the red-hair gene. Since Vitamin D is formed in the skin by the interaction of Solar UV radiation and one's skin, it does turn a flaming red. This simply means (from what I can remember) that the body has very suddenly produced too much vitamin D and might be storing some for the . If you don't catch my drift, let me try and simplify:
One day long ago everybody was blonde or dark-haired. There no redheaded people anywhere to be found. So Genetics, in their inner wisdom, plotted and planned a conference discussing what they can do to help their bears. Some of the ladies at the conference were pregnant. It just so happened that these ladies all came from the northern territories of earth - think Vikings, Scots, some Irish. You know mos. So, Genetics got to work on these ladies and changed their babies' skin cells around a bit. Now, bear in mind that the Northern Teritories have little to know sun for months at a time. The Genetics pulled a gene here, pushed a gene there, and nine months later, when the babies were born, they had the first red hair. Their beautiful red hair and pale skin mean that, in the places with the least sunlight, they'll always have the greater advantage when it comes to Vitamin D production.
In 60 years redheads will be extinct. All due to genetic diversity and the mingling of the races. I can honestly say, if I'm still around and I never see red hair again, i will be heartbroken.
