Violet

A combination of red and blue, colors that display diametrically opposed personalities, violet and other hues in its family, such as mauve and purple, variously wrap themselves in cloaks of mystery, richness, refinement, malaise, trouble or provocation. The violet family suffers from a split personality that has always generated very different reactions.

The history of dyes has been marked by purple, a crimson substance extracted from some species of mollusks and used, in days of yore, to color the ornate garments worn by emperors. Hence the expression purple prose used to describe ornate writing.

The religious world associates violet with the Passion of Christ. Easter rites include the use of complementary colors - violet and yellow - symbolic of lent and the return of spring with its yellow crocuses and daffodils

In the days of the British Empire, mauve was the only color allowed to complement gray, black and white during periods of half-mourning. The gloomy connotations attached to the color may well explain the aversion of fashion designers for mauve until the middle of the nineteenth century.

During the sixties, the violet family of colors became very popular. Considered unconventional and provocative, colors in the violet range stood as the symbol of a generation of youths in search of freedom. Some still recall those vivid prints in oranges and magenta!

The psychological effects of violet

Violet is thought to be antiseptic. In some operating rooms, ultraviolet rays are used to purify the air. In psychiatry, violet is used to treat patients who suffer from fears and obsessions because of its calming effects.

According to psychologists, violet contributes to mental equilibrium. In addition, it is associated with a sense of the artistic, music, intuition and spirituality. It promotes sensitivity and compassion.

People who wear violet are described as very sensitive and charitable. Their sensitive nature could make them vulnerable; that is why they are often advised to wear magenta, which contains red, to improve their self-confidence.

In home decorating, violet is sometimes used to create theatrical environments that reflect the creative personality of the residents. Artists often like to have a touch of violet in their studios. Violet also lends itself to rooms that are earmarked for prayer and meditation.

Karma..

My actions are my only true belongings.  I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.  My actions are the ground upon which I stand.  ~Thich Nhat Hanh

A year after..

Its been a year passed since i learned one of the best lesson in my life, though painful and cost me a bundle of tears; i did not regret it for it made me a better and stronger person as i am today. I learned a lot of things from that moments and realized my potentials as well.

I want to celebrate it later… maybe a cup of coffee or a simple chips will do. A salute to myself for a year full of challenge! Cheers for this day!!
