Introduction
I am provided with eight different buttons to choose from. Each button has its own color which represents the ability to discharge a specific superhero task. These colors are yellow, blue, red, pink, orange, green, purple and grey. However, in as much as all the colors presented have specific admirable superhero abilities, I had to choose only one and I therefore pressed blue. I chose the blue button because, among many reasons, it also comes with the power of flight. The reasons for my choice are personal and socially relevant.
On socially relevant reasons, I chose the blue color because of its association with the gift of flight. The gift of flight means that I will be able to defy gravity and travel faster than road and water means of transport. In this regard, I will be able to assist those in distress in a number of ways. Assisting in the effecting of emergency and evacuation programs; helping law enforcement agencies to keep law and order; and extending a helping hand to the needy are some of the tasks that I seek to discharge, in my own volition. Thus, I intend to remove the time-space gap which beset the dispensation of these same roles, in order to make them more attainable and with a greater degree of efficiency.
It is true that there are also personal reasons that inform my choice of the blue button. For one, blue has always been my favorite color. Since childhood, I have always had a soft spot for all shades of blue such as turquoise blue, navy blue, royal blue and powder blue. It is for this reason that I am almost always adorned in blue apparel. Likewise, almost all of my belongings including my car, kitchen décor and living room walls are blue. Those who know me well buy me blue-colored gifts. It will therefore be fitting to have a button whose color match with my preference and personal belongings.
In a closely related wavelength, my love for blue and the choice for the blue button are informed by the fact that the color reminds me of a typical beautiful day. This is the case since, whenever I look up at the clear blue sky beyond white clouds I get in the right and cheerful mood. The corollary to this is that when I get happy, I easily remember fun places I have visited and my friends’ enjoyable company. Because of this, I have always associated the clear blue skies with all the good times that I have had, from my infancy to the present.
It is also true that the blue button, courtesy of its gift of flight will give me reprieve from financial distress. This is because the gift of flight will eradicate my need to board vehicles and other means of transport. Because of this, I will neither need to pay the fare needed for commuting nor worry about the shifting dynamics of gas prices. I will also have escaped the pain of sustaining of blisters from long walks and the worry of being stuck in traffic.
Again, the gift of flight which comes with the blue button will also help me overcome acrophobia. From a personal standpoint, the gifts and enablement that come with the other buttons are surely enviable and alluring but the provisions of the blue button far outweigh them.
