A culture is a manifestation of self. I can vouch for this statement when I look around and see how festivities unfold.
Brightness is a symbol of optimism and hope. It is a beginning of the trust we have in fate, destiny or whatever is already written but not visible to us.
Thus begins the journey to believe that all will be well or at least reasonably acceptable for us to justify the written.
So what this does is – negates the degree of disappointment through a shield that guards your failures. Moreover, hope is meant to disguise your pain and recreate a path for survival.
How many of us have felt this way?
