Red Is Gray And Yellow White, But We Decide Which Is Right And Which Is An Illusion

Red Is Gray And Yellow White, But We Decide Which Is Right And Which Is An Illusion

I read an interesting comment on someone’s blog yesterday. The reader was marveling at the beautiful colors in a photograph of the cosmos, apparently unaware that the colors they were adulating were not natural. You see, the colors in pictures taken of the cosmos are largely the result of optical filtration used to photograph molecular activity which results in gases. It is necessary to use filters to see certain gases that would otherwise be invisible to the imaging system used to photograph them. The resulting colorization is as true to the human eye as the effect of sunglasses or a black light are. Our eyes were designed to see within a certain spectrum of light, the light of the sun. However, the color of anything is relative to its light source, optical filtration, the way our eyes are made and how our brain interprets information it receives from the optic nerve. In the end, all the beautiful colors you and I experience are merely a subjective interpretation of energy.

"Cold hearted orb that rules the night, removes the colours from our sight. Red is gray and yellow white, but we decide which is right and which is an illusion. Pinprick holes in a colourless sky let insipid figures of light pass by. The mighty light of ten thousand suns challenges infinity and is soon gone. Night time, to some, a brief interlude. To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios wake up your steads. Bring the warmth the countryside needs." ~ The poem Morning Glory written by Graeme Edge of The Moody Blues and orated by Mike Pinder of The Moody Blues on the The Moody Blues album Days Of Future Passed.

There's a very good reason for this. Nicotine, when smoked in cigarettes, is a very fast acting ant-depressant, ant-anxiety agent and pain killer all wrapped up in one nice convenient little package. In fact, it's so good at these things that, during WWII, the U.S. Army promoted smoking and issued free cartons of cigarettes to soldiers. Cigarettes were also standard issue in the medic's kit. When a soldier was wounded, the first thing the medic would do is throw a cigarette in their mouth. So, it's really no wonder that people smoke cigarettes.
