Life should be like handful of multicolors.
[i][/i]I know one the Mayer's poems.
Let me tell you those lines.
“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who's an 8 color type...I'm like, hey girl, Magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no I want Magenta!”
------------- John Mayer
The above were really cool lines..
Do you agree?

Oh, I think you'd like this clip by Tim Hawkins. It's about crayons (the crayon part starts around 3:30 of the clip):

Yes. But if a person were color blind than the color expressions would be meaningless because there would be no concept of "periwinkle" or "green", etc. So the simile would be lost on such a person.
Plus, I was being a tad bit facetious....
