Coloured Pages
Life is a colour book. We start off a blank white page, and as we experience more things in life, more colours are added to it. When we feel happy, elated, peaceful, loving, full of hope, faith and trust, we're coloured with pastel colours of warmth; when we feel sad, dulled, disturbed, hated, depressed, disppointed and bitter, we become coloured with dark colours of cold. Our life becomes colourful as we experience more 'colours of joy' - it becomes exciting. Have you ever tried mixing your paints when you were a kid? As you mix the blue, red, brown, green into one palette, what colour do they ultimately become? Dark brown, grey perhaps? It becomes totally black when you add in the black. Our heart is like this palette. If we choose to mix in the brown and grey with the other colours, even the pastel colours turn dull; if we mix in the black, every other colour is clouded out. Likewise, if we choose to harbour sadness, boredom, irritation, hatred, depression, disappointment and bitterness in our hearts, even the happiness, elation, peace, love, hope, faith and trust will be non-existent. When our pages become too dark, maybe we should all start again with a blank white page of A4 size paper.
