Black & White

I am about to head for bed after a long day out.Somehow this piece of memory strikes me at this moment and i feel like writing it out.

Earlier i read this ;’http://asada0.tumblr.com/  and then watched this - http://vimeo.com/23199805 TIJIcolour vid

I remember sis had had a indonesian maid helper for the family.I was quite young then however in my memories, she known to be quite an smart individual to me.

One day,we were arguing about something color related.I couldn’t recall the actual object but if my memory doesn’t failed me,we were debating over the colors ’ yellow’ over ‘green’ .I was surprised when she insisted the object which was in my eyes( and others i supposed with normal vision) Yellow.I thought she was pulling my legs back then when she told me ’ that (?) is Green !!  ‘

The young and ignorant me didn’t realized there are such population in human kind with color-vision impaired ? i dunno what’s the term for it though but to my understanding they can’t tell certain colors.And she happens to be one of them.

In that moment,never was i ever doubted what i saw and trusted it to be the ultimate ‘truth’ .I believe in my judgment capability still. However tonight,  i may have a different believe.What she sees and what i see may be the same truth just through different perspectives.Different brains….different cultural and life experience..etc.

Although she is part of the minority with such incapability(?) that doesn’t mean me and the rest of the majority hold the truth in the things we see.I’ve come to realized the majority only speak the loudest and watever data &survey with the % calculation are mostly BS (although they could be useful sometime ! )

As i grow older the truth is no longer the ultimate search in life.Everything could means ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Or just Both.

Done searching ? …….. maybe. I have my curiosity still ‘On’
