Green

What do colours mean? What is green? Green is newness, vitality, the.existence of life, and also of disease. In both cases green represents activity, biological. Does green represent movement or the desire to do so? What things are green? Money, envy, marijuana. What are all those things? Ambition. The ambition to own more, the ambition to possess what you don't have, the ambition to escape to somewhere new, out there or within yourself. Green means go after all, movement indeed. Green is impure, not simply as a result of these examples, green is by nature a combination, a mixture (or contamination) of the pure. Perhaps envy is the contamination of pure sadness. When do we use green? Why does it represent failure so often? Failure to barter, failure to achieve what we wish, failure to remain healthy. Yet green means go, green means it's on. Perhaps green is the contamination of pure sadness which is why it means perseverence. To continue on, to let you know there is still charge to your battery. Green means correct, keep going, you're closer to perfection. But now we're back to ambition. So does green stand between mankind and love - just as ambition does? No less envy and money. Marijuana is debatable.
