My Take on "The Dress"

By now I know you're all annoyed with the social media posts about the dress.  I just want to put in my two cents and then I swear I'll leave it alone.  Here's what I think...



I think "The Dress" teaches us something about our society and the way we see things.

I think we see what we want to see.  We see what our subconscious tells us is true.  It's all about who you are as a person and how you view life and the world around you.

The Optimist knows that there is light, so he adds it back and says the dress is White and Gold.

The Realist sees the colors for what they are in the photo only.  Blue and Brown.  (I know this because that's me.)

The Pessimist sees only the shadow and dismisses the light.  His eyes see only Blue and Black.

Now, here's the kicker...

The Child, who is none of those, can see ALL colors and teaches us a little more about how we should all think.

It all just goes to show that it's all about perspective.  The human brain works in mysterious, wonderful ways.  We should all try to look at things in a different light sometimes.
