Black And White Magic
Too Much Black Is Too Much Of A Bad Thing
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.
Somewhat incongruously, fashion designers love to wear all black, too. In their case, it is not to inspire fear, but to inspire admiration. Black, like a black limousine, is the color of class and sophistication. Used creatively and tastefully, it is the ultimate fashion statement. The fashion designer, with his expensive black sport watch with its shiny chrome face displayed boldly on his wrist, is showing the world that he has style.
There is some logic to the above examples. A statement is forcefully made. Some people get carried away with ebony, though. Take goths, for instance. Everything they have is black and it gets a little ridiculous. When their lipstick, their house, their car and everything else that have is all the same, it doesn’t inspire fear or respect, it inspires ridicule! Really, who needs black baby furniture! That’s just absurd.
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.
Between black and white is the entire world of brilliant color. Color is produced when light is refracted. Pure white light is thus symbolic of life itself and the colors produced from light with everything that moves.
That said, it is equally true that as many people get carried away with white as they do by black. Those who prefer white are often reaching for a level of purity that is beyond this world. But isn’t the avoidance of color a denial of life, whether you choose a pure white or a completely black lifestyle? Life is all about color, including but not limited to black and white. Why not celebrate life by embracing all its colors?
