Unintended Sinner

Not that I want to be colour blind but it is more about the racial thing, Malaysia is a land where cultures collide in a friendly way, this issue came up in my mind out of a sudden when I was at the hospital late last year, it seems to me that the hospital is the only place where every one is colour blind, people of different races talked to each other, concerning over the sickness of the people around them. It suddenly makes me think that we are actually not racist, the only problem is that every one is talking, the nurses had to come over and shut every one up.

Each and everyone of us are of the same body structure consisting the same amount of bones, and internal organs, and the only thing that set us apart is skin colour and culture. Among the same race, people have different culture too, no? so why do we have to be racist anyway? In the end, we are all going to be have our parts biodegrade into part of the nature, it seriously makes no difference between us.

I was browsing Youtube for meaningful commercials earlier and bumped into one of the Petronas CNY, Raya, Deepavali TVC and my childhood memories revived, I went to a kindergarten when I was 2, it was Good Hope Kindergarten, it is also a church and yet I see people of all races attending class or should I say playing. I did not know how to speak Malay nor did they know how to speak Mandarin, we used body language! I missed the moment back then and I wonder if my children would feel the same in the future.

Unity is the key for everyone living in a multiracial community but how many can actually do it? I am not sure why is it possible when we were young and not possible as we grew older? I had good Malay and Indian friends, in fact, we are very close and we could just talk about anything, therefore, I believe that racial differences is not a problem if only we take some time to know each other better.

Because we are not water and oil, we are all water colours, it only make things wonderful when all the colours are being mixed together, simple yet complicated, it depends on how we look at it. It suddenly seems to me that Art is the only key to unity now because every single colour is a different individual but when they are all on a plain white piece of canvas, every colour compliment each other.
