If the nation can dress white

In Catholic Church, priests when coming to the altar, dress in white garments. It has been made a custom.

This is to show a priest is pure and holy. Even their robes are white. The table that the priest uses is also dressed white. The priest does not need to tell the congregation that they should be holy. The practical symbol of dressing white communicates it better.

I have attended many holy weddings. The bride must be in white gown. This has entered into so many cultures. Any wedding considered to be holy must involve dressing the bride in white. You can see the celebrated joy of the bride when in a white gown.  Historically, marriage has been a source of joy and happiness. As a source of happiness, white dress is used to communicate its purity.

For those who have seen angels in visions or dreams, there is no an Angel dressed in black or red. Every angel of God dresses in white.  White is heavenly dress. It communicates God’s holiness. It communicates that God is just. It communicates that God is truth. White is heavenly too!

Once upon a time, there was a big wedding conducted. It was the wedding of a certain king. Everyone was invited to attend. Many attended. When the king came to check on the attendance, he found that one man did not dress like others. Everyone attending the wedding feast dressed in white except the one man. The king was shocked to see such a man who could not dress like others. The king with a lot of disappointments humiliated the man and sent him out of the wedding feast.

The man was sent out of the wedding feast just because he was not in white. This communicates that the man was not pure. Purity was taught through symbols especially dressing in white in ancient times. For occasions communicating peace, white dresses are used.

It is only the white dove used as a sign of peace. It is not the white dove heart that symbolizes peace, it is its colour. Likewise, to any white bird, people understand it to symbolize peace. Most people don’t like killing white birds. I am one of them. I admire white birds. They are beautiful.

For many cultures, to test the virginity of a girl, the bed must be dressed in white bed-sheet. If the girl is virgin, the blood will clearly be seen on the white bed-sheet. Imagine if they dress the bed in red bed-sheet! The blood will not be seen! It will all be red. What is white clearly shows purity. Virginity is a symbol of purity. This tells that the girl is holy.

Every creature has white teeth. Come to human beings. A person with white teeth is admired the most. The first thing that is admired from a girl is her white teeth. Anything white is great source of admiration. A girl with red teeth is hardly married. Though married she won’t be loved fully by her husband. I have seen many ladies replacing their decayed teeth with artificial white teeth.

The sun, moon and stars are white. We are all scared when the sun, moon and stars turn red. I witnessed in 2005 when the sun turned red. People ran to churches thinking it was the end of the world. From the white sun we find our joy during the day. From the white moon we find our joy during the night. Stars give us beautiful sky during the night. We cannot live without the sun, moon and stars.

Every electronic device has white screen. Imagine the screen of the laptop is red. I believe you will run off your screen. With the bright screen you are able to do many good things. We communicate through the bright screen. We watch beautiful things from the bright screen.  Even scientists know the uniqueness of anything white.

I once met a man with his eyes red as blood. I got scared and only thought that he was a cannibal. Everyone fears those who have red eyes. People love those with white eyes. They are termed peace-loving people. When a doctor sees that your eyes are white, he/she confirms that you are not sick. But when your eyes turn red, then you are very sick. White eyes communicate peace.

The most loved cars in the world are white cars. I saw a man driving a white V8 last week. I wished it was me driving it. I honestly love a white car. Whoever drives a white V8 is respected. It is only the white colour respected not the man. White cars are beautiful. They are loved.

What colour is fat? It is white of course! We love fat. We want to be fat. Once, a hippo was killed. I saw men almost tearing themselves to pieces because of fat. Fat gives us energy.

Man’s sperm is white! A dead sperm is never white. Every man knows it so well. It is because of the white sperm that we have human beings on earth today. There are no human beings without white sperm. I am waiting when human sperm will turn red. It is a misery that won’t happen. Human sperm will always be white. White is life.

The white blood cell in our body fights every disease. It is the defensive system in our body. Without the white blood cell, we can die in a second. We are attacked often by diseases. We continue to live because the white blood cell is strong to fight them all. People who lack white blood cell in their bodies are often sick. White is power.

Every bird lay white egg. I have not seen a bird laying a red egg or a black egg. All their eggs are white. It is miraculous! From the white eggs come living birds. Birds are our source of food. Birds are source of beauty. We sell birds for business. White is life.

People when talking about a good person would say, “This person has a white heart.”  For a bad person, they say his/her heart is black. White communicates our good life. It tells we live a pure life filled with love and care. White is character.

Most black women bleach to be white. They admire white people. Whites rule the world now. US dollar which is white man currency is stronger than many currencies in the world. People in Africa want to go to America or Europe just to be like white people. We fear white people. We worship them. They control our decisions. They determine whether we should live or die. Recently Donald Trump withdrew USAID, everywhere Africans are crying. White is power.

Tell me. Have you ever seen a person dressed in black shirt and white trouser? Have you ever seen a school uniform having white trouser and black shirt? I have never seen in my life! I just imagine how horrible it would look! Black is always down. White is always up. White is seen from afar. Nothing black is seen from afar. White is beauty.

There are only white bulbs. Bulbs give us light. Every source of artificial light is white. Even electrical wires are white. Why didn’t electricians think of having black or red bulbs? This tells us white colour is important. It reflects true light.

When you are a youth, your hair is black. Youth life is filled with many bad practices. It is filled with hatred, jealousy, bad decisions, among others.  But when you become old, your hair turns white. White hair symbolizes wisdom and victories. It means you have gathered even experience and you can direct the youth to the path of justice and truth. White is wisdom.

The nation should be dressed white. The nation dressing white will reflect truth and justice. You cannot put on white dress without washing it. The dirt on a white dress is seen as soon as it falls on it. As the nation is white, it will quickly realize its filthiness and wash it as soon as possible.  The nation will erase its evil practices. It will be pure as white dress.

The nation dressing white will mean it will accept to be transparent. Put any red vest inside a white shirt. It will definitely be seen by everyone. The nation will not do anything in hiding. All its actions will be seen in the open day light.

If the nation accepts to be like the sun, it will benefit all its citizens. The sun does not discriminate. The sunlight reaches to everyone whether being good or evil. The nation should distribute its resources to its citizens equally irrespective of where they come from. No one hates the sun. Even if the sun becomes very hot, people will still need it. Though the nation becomes hot on its citizens as long as the citizens know that the nation serves them they will not curse the nation.

The nation accepting to dress white as a new bride, it will bring beauty and joy to its citizens.  Everyone celebrates during a wedding day. People eat foods which they don‘t even eat at their homes. The groom smiles that day. Even the rivals of the groom smile that day. A beautiful nation should make everybody whether friend or an enemy smile. A beautiful bride dressed in white does so. We all know it.

White is purity, justice, truth, transparency, accountability, love, peace, honesty, kindness, forgiveness, patience, responsibility, happiness, joy, care and sympathy. Be kind to the nation.
