Black and white mystery
There is nothing alike taste and color: some prefer the bright and colorful flowers, and others – an elegant, classic and strong. But some consider black as a classic color, for others it’s terrible boring thing. The opinion of those who think white is a symbol of chastity and innocence, many consider outdated and banal. So what are actually these two colors: black and white? Are they inseparable parts of one whole, or the eternal “opponents”?
From a psychological point of view, black symbolizes courage and fortitude, and white – femininity and vulnerability. A striking example is the bride and the groom. From the standpoint of religion, black is the color of evil, sin and wickedness. They often speak about the bad man – a man with a black conscience, or a black soul. Accordingly, white is the symbol of innocence and purity. Maybe that is why they always portrayed devils in black, and angels in snow-white? From a medical point of view, white is a symbol of sterility and well-executed medical debt. And black is associated with disease and rotting. However, it is not so sad, from a commercial point of view: black is a symbol of practicality, and white – luxury. Mystical position: clothed in black like magicians, sorcerers and fortune-tellers, puffing on a mystery and inaccessibility. In white robes as you can see the clergy in the biggest Christian holiday – Easter. From a mathematical point of view, black is the question (a pen in a white notebook), and white is clear and unambiguous answer (in chalk on a blackboard). On the artistic side, black and white – are the two most harmonious colors, which are confirmed by highly drawings, photographs and masterpieces of cinema. And finally, from a philosophical point of view, a person’s life are filled with black and white stripes, as symbols of success and failure. Wonderful examples of the compatibility and full contrast of black and white in our lives are a lot.
