Growing up, I’m sure most of us may have heard of the green-eyed monster called jealousy. Well, from there comes the focus of this post. By the way, it’s my first blog post guys🙈 I’m so excited. Thank you for being a part of this new journey.

In light of the current situation in the world, I just feel the need to talk about this. They say that the eyes are a window to the soul. Mere looking into someone’s eyes, you can predict to a certain extent what they feel at that point: anger, sadness joy or whatever. Your eyes don’t necessarily have to be a certain colour, lol, it’s just an allusion.

Over time, we’ve come to realize that the society we live in is full of so much negativity, most times for no reason. Jealousy is simply caused by insecurity- the feeling of being less, probably because the other person has qualities or talents you don’t and would love to have. Then comes the red eye: anger.

For absolutely no reason, you just get angered by the other person. Everything they do irritates you. It’ll suddenly feel like they get all the credit or they’re doing things just to make you feel less, whereas they’re just being themselves. This feeling continues to fester until your heart is completely dark towards that person: the black eye

Total hatred and bitterness. Forgetting that humans all come from the same source. At this point we start talking about racism, tribalism, abuse and everything disrespectful, including thoughts or seemingly minor actions (I’m sure you know what I mean) to humanity.

Meanwhile, in the midst of these people lie those who have no stand. The people with multicoloured eyes. No favourite colour, no worst colour; anything goes, smh.

All ye fence sitters, just know you’re butts can’t sit there for long. It’s only going to hurt gradually then someday you’ll crash like Humpty Dumpty, and there’ll be no king’s horsemen to fix you with glue. Other people don’t have to be reimagined as your siblings or external relations to deserve to be treated properly.

In art, mixing many colours only results to black. Same happens when you decide to sit on the fence. You’re indirectly taking sides with the oppressor and it’s in no way going to help the situation. It’s only helping to increase the fear in the people who have been regarded as the minority for reasons we really don’t understand.

Right now, we just need people who know what value is all about. People who understand the concept of true love and loyalty. The white-eyed people.

Everyone was created differently and that’s what adds spice to life. If only one kind of flower existed, I bet you wouldn’t give your girlfriend on V-day, lol. Same way the world would be a boring place if just your race or tribe or sex existed.

This is not a one man struggle, it concerns every single human that lives on this earth. I know at a point in our lives we all possess or struggle with one of these colours (even me, trust me I’m learning from this as well). How about we start refining our thoughts and correcting our excesses and that if our friends. Then ask yourself in each step of the way, “What colour are my eyes?”
