The Colors Of Life

It’s really hard to imagine a life without all the colors around us, colors are the only things that really brings some brightness into our lives. And there can be no other better artist than nature to produce the most brilliant of the color combinations in the world. Almost every color we can create or every painting that we can produce is only a mere modification from the natural world. We never actually invented anything in terms of art we just copied it. Like the patterns on butterflies which are the true inspiration for the greatest of paintings, all the colors in flowers and plants are themes upon which we built this whole beautiful world.

Even if we were capable of painting the whole world we can never do a better job than nature, maybe not even close to it. There are even great benefits from colors; every color has its own influence in our lives, like the color green which is the most relaxing color to look at for all humans, or the color orange which is attributed to benefit our health in various ways. And look around you nature gives it all. But our weird human instincts always wants us to be different, instead of leaving everything just as they are we wanted to change them and we ended up with disastrous outputs.We cut all those beautiful trees and replaced with those really ugly buildings which just remind us of all the problems in our lives, we ignored all the beautiful colors and always opt for only the dullest black or the more sorrowful grey for all our selections.

Flowers have literally gone into extinction in cities, now most think there are only 30 varieties of them but actually there are billions. And our exploits of the nature’s gifts go on, understanding what we have really lost might be difficult now but will be entirely obvious when the day comes when you begin to get fed up of your life. There is no real conclusion for all this, because we are in such a position that we can’t change what we are but we can surely change the environment around us. Just plant a flower and observe all the happiness it brings you, or watch a butterfly outside your boring office and get inspired, try to enjoy all the little gifts of color we are provided with and lead a much happier life.
