Colors are light's suffering and joy

Colors are light's suffering and joy

Summary

This quote suggests that colors represent both the positive and negative aspects of light. On one hand, colors bring happiness and joy, highlighting the beauty and vibrancy of the world. On the other hand, colors can also represent suffering or sadness when associated with darker or intense shades. Just as light can illuminate and brighten our surroundings, it can also reveal the shadows and complexities of life. This quote captures the duality of colors, linking them closely to the emotions and experiences that light brings.

What perhaps you don't even know till now.
