Red

Hi, All.


The last post was rather short. So I'm writing another one. This one is also short. Also, national holidays spark my creativity.

What's your favorite idea? Mine is being creative. How do you get that idea? I just try to think creatively. Now when you look at this orange, tell me please, what do you see? It's just a boring old orange! Maybe to you, but not to me. I see a silly face. Wow! Walking along and smiling at me. I don't see what you mean! 'Cause you're not thinking creatively! 

Right. Enough of that.


Today is Valentine's Day. Yay. Happy Valentine's Day and all that. Also, Happy Singles Awareness Day. You can read my previous post on that here.

Here is the first picture I get when I search "valentine's day" on Google Images:

It says Happy Valentines. It is red. Note: that thing has really bad grammar. But the thing we want to focus on is that it is red.

Ah, red. Valentine's Day = red and pink. So, therefore, red is the color of love. How exciting. Red is also the color of the heart. 

But red is also the color of war, anger, and blood. Love and war - two entirely different things. So does their being associated with the same color mean something?

Maybe this is saying that love and war are like sisters. Or brothers. Or sister and brother. Or twins. War is caused by love: love for your own point of view. And love doesn't escape without some kind of war - no relationship is entirely devoid of arguments. 

Or maybe I'm just reading into this too much. Some things aren't made to be deeply analyzed with the intention of finding how it is somehow a metaphor for life and death. Sometimes, red is red, blue is blue, and green is not a creative color.

P. S. Help me. My friends are slowly dragging me into the insert confusing word here that is Don't Hug Me I'm Scared.



Note: Red also symbolizes communism and the Russian Revolution. Hmm...
