Day 105
"Reader! I hate yellow! That's what a friend of mine used to say if she saw any remote streak of yellow. Ok, she hated yellow. Now what? Nothing special here, some like red, some love blue and some hate yellow. Perhaps the difference is that some are more inclined to loving and others more to hating. I mean why did she always look for that yellow? She could have looked for all those reds and turquoises and pinks, all of which she liked a lot. She even loved GREEN. I mean, GREAN! What's so special about green? Anyway, she focussed on hating yellow. - Maybe that's what is wrong about the way people live. They look too much for things they find ugly or disgusting or things they are scared of. And why is that? What do you think, Reader? Probably because pain sticks. Isn't it true that humans always remember all kinds of pains and difficulties while at the same time they are unable to remember the last time when they felt really happy. Which actually could point at something quite wonderful: it seems that happy states are so natural to human beings that maybe they have to recognize their true nature as happy and joyful. That is a pretty big difference to the supposed daily misery which everybody tries to sell their neighbors as 'philosophy'. Maybe yellow could be a great color for my friend if she would let go of the concept that life is miserable. . . . if she would just let it go . ."
