Yellow Paint

Prologue

The definition of yellow is: the color between green and orange in the spectrum, a primary subtractive color complementary to blue; colored like ripe lemons or egg yolks. Boring, right? However, its surprisingly inaccurate in my opinion. So allow me to put it in a more simpler, accurate terms.

Yellow: The colour of happiness.

But why not any other colour? This cannot be answered with a simple sentence because you will not believe me. In school, they have told us to justify our answer... In fact in life, we need to justify our answer. Always. Back on to the matter at hand.

Red could not be the colour of joy. Why? It is the colour when a man first sees that one woman that he sees can change his life forever. It is the colour of the rose he hands to that woman on his first date. Red, is the colour of the intimacy they share alone. It is the colour of the man's anger he hides when he finds the woman sharing the colour of red with another man.

Happiness can neither be blue. Blue is the colour of a new born child sleeping in his mother's arms. Blue is the colour of that baby's father sitting in his office, researching. When they find no warmth in the child's body the next morning, and sorrow overtakes their lives. That is the colour blue.

What about white, you may ask. The little girl in white, sitting in the field, not yet knowing of the tragedies the world has to offer her, picking flowers. Her parents finding her in the field, and scolding her, commanding her to get back in the house because "got her dress dirty." The little girl going back to the large, empty house to once again, live her boring life. That is the colour white.

What about green? Purple? Grey, black, orange, pink... YOU ARE WRONG! The only colour suitable for happiness is yellow! Why?! It makes me happy! Yellow is that colour of what we see the sun as! Or those stupid little smiley faces! Yellow is the colour I looked at through out my life! It makes me forget what I had to suffer! Look, everything has been blue in my life. From everyone I love leaving me, to people abusing me. Everything is not yellow. Which is why, when I paint. I don't use it. I don't use red, orange, green. I only use yellow.

Your probably wondering what happened now. I suppose I should start from the beginning. So, I eat yellow paint, because it makes me feel happy.
