Red
If a blind person asked you to describe the color red to them,
how would you?
Would you say that red is beautiful like the scent of a rose,
Or it is disqusting like the smelly blood found in a butcher's house?
If you are more into the taste of things, would you say that it is sweet like the juicy taste of
strawberries in a long field,
Or it is bitter as the taste of dry liver rolling around in you mouth?
What of the sounds? Could it not describe red?
Maybe the relaxing sounds of wood crackling in a blazing fire,
Or the fearful sounds of a married couple arguing over nothing?
The blind person touch is much more sensitive as to compared to others.
Could this not descibe red?
The feeling of pouring rain as each droplet hits your skin,
Or it is rough like rubbing your fingers on sand paper?
Is red only described in a color like the sun as it sets in a warm night creating a red explosion in the sky?
Or is it a specific type of emotional feeling?
