White II

Why do most people associate the color white with pureness, goodness, benevolence etc? Hospital sheets are mostly white, but so are the death shrouds of those who died upon the sheets…Surely they are not, then, holy and pure?   

The Ku Klux Klan wears white. The priests’ clerical collars are white. The imperial Storm Troopers wear white. Does that make them pure and benign? 

I think I’d rather go color blind, with eyes and heart burnt by the gentle embers of firewood, then to get lost in such useless concept.
