Zuletzt beendetes Buch: "What if? 2" von Randall Munroe. Band1 hatte ich auf Papier aus der Stadtbibliothek, 2 jetzt über Libby/Overdrive in der Wil Wheaton Fassung als Onleihe. Wievele Römer braucht es, um Rom an einem Tag zu erbauen? Auch viele andere Fragen sind für #Fantasy und #ScienceFiction #Weltenbau interessant. #WhatIf @bookstodon @buchstodon

Colours.
Colours. A funny word. Some people can live without it, some cannot, some create it everyday. We have our own preferences of colours. Blue, green, yellow, red, etc. etc. But the most interest of all the colours to me are black and white. White is often depicted as a sybol of all goodness, purity, Godliness, and all good things. Black is the symbol of rudeness, profane things, and so on.
But, the God who made day also made night. The great God who made the daylight so bright also made the nightsky so dark. All these preconceptions for thousands of years, influenced by different cultures, have poisoned the mids of all men.
What if we stopped thinking like that? What if, instead of thinking of the devil as some black/red figure with horns, he was an angel of light, who deceives all men of all good in their lives? That is something to think about.
I'm not trying to say stop using white for holy things. I'm just saying: some things are not as they seem, and the devil can use anyy tactic to pull you over to his side...
Share some of your thoughts as well. I may be wrong on this matter, so feel free to correct me too.
