Colours

Have you ever washed a brightly coloured cloth and watched the colour run? Ever think that life is similar? Bright and rosy with promise to start with, then the years go by and it starts to fade to various shades of grey. It’s surprising how most people don't even notice; don't even offer a whimper of protest. Life for most, is a mute acceptance of whatever comes in the way, a futile exercise in absurdity. Of course, it is peppered with many goodies - money, family, kids, and everything else that makes life so overrated; tools that create illusions of happiness, prosperity, success. Mere existence is so tough that it takes up most of our lives. And leaves little time for living.
