The Many Colors of People

Times Change

At one time, all people were looked upon by god so much differently. He loved them all with such a great passion, but eventually he saw a great evil in them. Refusing to believe his mistake, he left them without a single word ever being spoken. The people were left alone, without guidance. 

But, of course, people were different back then. You see, their eyes matched their hair and their skin in varying shades. Each person's colors varied almost as much as their fingerprints. If one wanted to put them into groups, it would be a very difficult task only because they didn't see differences within each other. Instead, they looked for sameness. Most found that their colors didn't matter, only what they enjoyed did. Some found they didn't belong anywhere, until they greeted others who felt the same.

Over time, though, the people found that they needed more sameness. This was when The Parting happened.

The people with the brown eyes, skin and hair were sent to the bottom left of the land, which they named "Africa."

The people with the blue eyes, skin and hair were sent to the top left of the land, a place later deemed as "Europe."

The people with the green eyes, skin and hair found themselves in the top right of the land, which many decided would take the name "Asia"

The others, with the pink, purple, red and white eyes, skin and hair found that they were all sent to the smallest, most secluded part of the land. There were too few of them to be separated, so they were the last to live a life of differences. They didn't name their land as quickly as the others, but later settled on the name "India."
