Have you ever thought about what we see, or better yet, how we see things? I have, many times over, probably too much for my own good. How about the colors we see? have you ever thought about all the things we see and how boring they would be in just black and white?
How boring would your life be if you didn't have any colors to express some kind of emotions. If there was only black and white then everything would look the same, flowers would lose their magic, clothes would lose some of their representations on our personalities.
But here is where things become odd, look around you for a moment, take in all the colors you eyes see. Now realize that they are all fake. None of the things we see are colored the color we see them as.
To understand this you must understand how we see colors. We see colors as a reflection of light. This means that the colors that are absorbed by the object are never shown to us, only the colors that are reflected.
If everything is simply a color reflected to us you could kind of thing of it like a mirror when you shine a colored light on it. If you shine a read light on it then it reflects the light back at you, letting you see red.
When looking at it like this you can conclude that everything you see is actually the opposite of reality. This is a really interesting concept for the simple fact that we never really consider things that are part of our day to day life and it's something fun to think about. Consider what the "true" color of the things you're looking at are next time you have free time and let me know what you come up with.
