Colors

It seems like they are infinite, and as I look around my room, I see tons of them. But when I think about it, and remember my elementary science, the thousands colors I see come from three primary colors (or really, for those science people out there, the three color receptors the eye can perceive). Yes, the infinite, or seemingly infinite, colors I see, are based on only three colors. Amazing, isn't it?

Well, that got me thinking (but really, what doesn't?). Most everything is based on something, and it only takes ONE thing for thousands of others to take off from it, to base themselves on it. And not only that, but everything builds on something. Take, for instance, computers. The greater and better technology became, the greater and better computers did. But first, someone had to invent/discover that ONE thing that made it all possible.

Here's another example, possibly the best example I, or anyone, can think of. G-d and humans. We came from G-d. He made us. In fact, we are in His image. Now, as you all know I'm sure, there was no precedent, no one person or thing for G-d to base His work on. There was just G-d. He was the first, and the last really. Every thing I do is because of Him. And every color I see is because of Him too. He set the precedent, and we are just following in His footsteps.

thats a good thought now if everyone could just remember that in there everyday life wouldent all the the little things that we wry about seem kind of well...stupid when you look at the big picture and relize everything is b/c of hashem and that he loves us and wants whats best for us its so much easer to make what we know are the right desicions. how can people get so caught up in all there petty stupidness when its so clear there is a much bigger picture.

Jill,
Hey! Great post! It's so weird to think about life and where everything comes from. Obviously everything comes from G-d, but still when you really think about it, it's like beyond our understanding. Sometimes i start thinking about something like that and I go into my own little world and then I space out. It's kind of interesting how we're all here and there's so much that we believe in, but cannot fully understand. Anyways, I have no idea where I'm going with this.
Love ya,
Abby
