Hey everyone,
I was just thinking about Timothy Gongaware's comment and it made me
think of the age old question everyone contemplates on as a kid, and I
still do...- when I talk about the colour green do you visualize the same
colour? The more I think about it it really doesn't matter as long as we
are using it as a symbol and we keep these symbols straight in our own
minds. If you always see whatever it is you see when I say green then it
doesn't matter if it is actually the same or not, right?
It's a symbol. I still wonder though, I mean I know my dad doesn't see
the same colour I do because he is colour blind, but do you?
Maybe my green is your blue :)
