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 you’re 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 thought Fullness.
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.
