Why Do Some People Get Too Carried Away By Black?
Black and white are the two extremes. Black is the complete lack of light and white is the fullness of light. Black represents emptiness and white, fullness. The mystique attached to black is undeniable and it’s understandable that it is the color of choice for many. Some just go too far.
The group that uses black to best effect is probably bikers. The biker chooses black because he wants to look intimidating. He wears black leather, from his boots to his leather pants and all the way up to the black helmet he puts on before he gets on his gleaming black motorbike with its shiny chrome detailing.
It is a popular ‘color’ choice among fashion designers, as well. They choose it because it makes a bold and contradictory statement. Bold, because of all of the connotations the color carries with it. Creativity is not one of them, but they use it creatively. They also wear it tastefully, right down to their expensive black sport watch, displayed so prominently on their wrist. In the case of fashion designers, black equals class.
Both of the above examples show the use of black to good effect. It has its intended psychological effect. When ebony is overdone, however, it can get a little ridiculous. Take the example of goths. From their clothes to their lipstick and even their black baby furniture (really!), they just plain overdo it. The difference is in degree. Goths just get too carried away and they just make you shake your head and smile.
Blackness is always synonymous with the darker side of life. Look in a thesaurus and words like funereal, somber and pessimism will be all you will find. Antonyms will include light, hope and optimism. Why anyone would choose to be completely pessimistic is hard to fathom.
The beauty of the world is in its color. It’s a world seen through a prism. White light is refracted and displayed in a multitude of colors. White is synonymous with life. Color is the dance of life.
That’s all good, but it is just as easy to get carried away with white as it is with its opposite. Some people wear only white as their statement of purity. In a way, though, that can be seen as a denial of life, too. All the colors of the rainbow are what life is all about! We’re an amalgam of black, white and every color in between. With so many colors to choose from, why would you not want to try them all?
