BECAUSE OF THE COLOURS

CULTURE

We see the diversity of human nature, and the cataclysmic ramifications of the generalization syndrome.

We exist in a space where we get to complain about the things we cannot change, where we absorb the madness of the world in privileged silences. I have only now realised that I have perhaps existed in many ways in a bubble of some sorts. A bubble where I am entirely enamoured by the mechanisms of my ability to see things from my perspective. Of waking up every day to the life I have been privileged to be born into despite its challenges. Of having the ability to dream and foster hopes of idealisms and vision and ambition.

I see now, that inherent need of our generation to engage in the catharsis of thoughts and the ability to open up ourselves to the possibilities of being better is of a fact an advantage to humanity. Despite our various ills and faults, we at least continue to make efforts to talk about the things that affect the people who do not have the voice to.

We see the diversity of human nature, and the cataclysmic ramifications of the generalization syndrome. One that has given birth to stereotypes and stifling doctrines of the principles of normalcy. We see the problem with the minority majority statistics being used in the most reductive instances to foster a culture of prejudice and exclusion.

Because we see the colours in the eyes of every human being, however they choose to be, whomever they chose to be. Because of the colours, we are liberated.
