Black is my favourite color. At least it is right at this moment. Like almost evertyhing about being time dependent, the choices are the same too. This moment i may be so in love with Black and yet the next i would want blue. Its just funny.

Not only is it about time, but it is also situation dependent. When i am video-chatting with someone i would really not want much of black in the frame, like more light. And yet the same black looks awesome at a pub, the dark shades hanging around.

They say nothing is constant. The only constant is change. Everything in life is time-space dependent. Thats how philosophy relates to physics. 🙂

But right now i am in that situation, where the only color i want is black. The darkness all around me. The dark night, the lights turned off. Even the computer’s light, as i type this, are like a eyesore in the darkness that surrounds me. This black, the dark black, all around me has a surreal quality. Its like it makes me peaceful. Its as if, i can forget everything else that goes on around me in this darkness.

I wondered why is that. Maybe its because of our senses. Eyes are not overwhelmed by the colors when its dark all around. The ears have soothing music or silence, which accompanies black usually. Smell, Taste, Touch usually are secondary and dont come into the picture here. Stupid explanation, but the only one i could come up with! Told you black has a soothing effect.

Try this out sometime. Shut the door, let there be silence. Close all the lights at night. Let there be darkness. And feel the peace that accompanies it. To add a different touch, put on some light music. Would suggest “Silent Moon” by “Jia Peng Fang”.
