The Parable Of The Rainbow
Colors
Juan M. Flavier
It all started as innocent statements by each of the colors, No attempt
was made by anyone to denigrate the others. There was even an
element of restrain and humility.
But as time went on the colors declaration became stronger and
haughty, they even use an overtone voice to put down the other colors.
It reached the point when the colors where actually quarreling.
Said the color Red, I am the brightest for red is the most striking.
Why? Life sustaining blood is color red. I represent Courage and
Bravery. Even love symbols such as heart and roses are color red.
The color Yellow retorted, What can be brighter than my Yellow
exemplified by the sun? I am the color of gaiety and warmth. Without
me only the eye-glaring ones remain.
What outlandish claims! Interposed by the color orange. Sunrise is
orange, not yellow. I am the most important because I represent health
and strength. Look at the ripened fruits and vegetables, they are
predominantly orange.
Well if your talking about vegetables and lives you are referring
to my color, declared the color Green. I am the symbol of life. All the
thrives in the fields and forest is greenery I provide.
The color Blue could not help it anymore, so it shouted, What
can be more expansive than the sky’s and seas? Do you forget the
farthest sky and the deepest sea are Blue. I represent patriotism.
The color Indigo came out with the statement, Your talking
about wide areas. I hope you realize that the largest area in the world is
silence. I represent the dimension with my color. It means thoughtfulness.
Aha! You forget the pomp of royalty and power is violet. I am
wisdom and authority .What can be more overwhelming.
Suddenly, the rain interrupted the continuous exchanges of
arguments of the colors. Stop! You are all wrong and all right. Yes, you
all have your features, But all of you have a special role. And more
importantly, you need to give each other to give the mix color of
beauty. From now on, you will not be seen separately. When it rains, a
strip of colors will appear in the sky. You will appear together . You will
be called a rainbow. You will then represent cooperation and hope.
With that, the rain disappeared.
