Colour as light as water
7979 Loves to Help People

When I was little, teacher used to request us to bring colour pencils to school for colouring exercise purposes or art class. As my family operates sundry shop. Hence, I could easily take a box of 12 colour pencils to school. Maybe the supplier gave extra colour pencils, we used to have a lot of loose and extra green or light blue colour pencils, it could be more than 10 sticks.

In school, I envied when I see my classmates had 24 or 36 sticks of different colours in a box, I felt so envy. No wonder, they always got A or A+ for their art, I only managed to get C or sometimes B-. The little me always thought: “Maybe I can’t do better because I only have limited colours”. Many years later, from TV ads, I saw a new brand of colour pencils, where after applying colours to the picture, you only need to use a water brush to sprinkle on it, then the parrot in the picture looks real and flew out of the art paper.   

One day during my uni. years, together with my friends we enthusiastically started drawing. My friend rode a motorcycle to a nearby sundry shop, he bought a book of art paper and a box of 12 water colours. Fortunately, we can mixed the water colours to get more colours. Few hours later, I drew a painting of a waterfall, my friends drew sun flower, beaches or architecture. We pasted our paintings on the wall at the staircase. So for those few days, whoever that comes to our house, we will asked them to choose the painting they liked the most. Just as expected, no one was interested in my waterfall painting, I was not puzzled about it, as I understood no one admires a still waterfall.

 
I had always been like this, not so particular about colours, I always prefer simple and safe colour matching for my clothing, in terms of food, people usually go for food that looks good other than taste and smell good, but in my case, I can still enjoy my cooking that turned out to be a disaster. Finally school over and I became a member of the working class, I thought my battle with colours is over, I didn’t expected that I need to prepare PowerPoint presentation and design posters. Computer has all shades of colours, I can no longer use the excuse that I run out of colour pencils. Maybe I have to admit, that other than short sighted, I might be colour blind too.       

That day, when my colleague and I were chatting about colours. She said that some people are like white paper when they come to a new place, slowly colours are added onto the paper by people around them, gradually the new comer will integrate into his or her new environment, and became one of them. Some came with strong subjective experiences, like a coloured paper, the person would like to integrate into the new environment. But, these people is making it difficult for others to paint onto their paper, in the end they usually will choose to leave with a complicated coloured paper. 

    
Later, I have the opportunities to reach out to many different cases. They all come in different backgrounds and characters, they produced unique colours on the drawing palette, they drew their own painting, and produced many different pictures. When their lives is in predicament, they are so heavy laden until they don’t know how to paint anymore, the intervention of volunteers became very crucial. If we rush in and quickly add bright colours onto the art paper, just hoping to lessen the effect of dark gloomy colours, then we as volunteers are only painting our own desire painting or lives.         

Water, is a transparent liquid that is colourless and tasteless. Volunteers just have to be the water, do not carry any colour or taste (value or prejudice), slip into the artist palette of every cases and blend with the original colour and fix it. Water, is also a moisturiser and a lubrication, that can revive lives for them to continue living; or overcome obstacles that used to block them in the past leaving no marks behind.   


For volunteering services, we have an ethical ground: “Volunteers should not force onto an aid recipient any of their own behaviour or belief.” Meaning that we cannot force an aid recipient to live according to our way, insist to put our desire colour into others drawing palette.

Let us be the people helper who is transparent like water.

水一般的色泽

小时候,老师要我们带颜色笔到学校,为一些作业填色,包括美术课。我们家做杂货店,随后从店里拿了一盒12支的颜色笔上学。也许是批发商多给,家里总还有一些零散又重复的颜色笔,青色和浅蓝色就有超过十支。

到了学校,看到同学们拥有24和36支颜色笔,每支颜色都不一样,心里好生羡慕。难怪他们的美术都拿A或A-,我只能拿C或偶尔的B-。小小的我想:“或许是颜色笔少,发挥的空间小”。多年后,从电视广告看到新的颜色笔品牌,上色后只要用水彩笔沾水挥一挥,画里的鹦鹉就栩栩如生,飞出了画纸。

大学时期,一天兴致勃勃与屋友一起作画。朋友开摩多车到附近商店,买了画纸和一盒12色的水彩回来。所幸水彩可以随心混合,调出无数可能的颜色。几小时后,我画了一幅瀑布图,其他的还有太阳花、海边及建筑物。我们把各自的画作贴在楼梯口的墙上。那几天,只要客人来,都会让他们选自己最喜欢的。预料之中,我的瀑布画无人问津。这也难怪,没人会欣赏静止的瀑布。

向来,我对颜色没有特别要求,衣着搭配都是简单安全的系列;美食追求色香味,但我就有办法做出黑暗料理,且吃得津津有味。终于进入社会,以为不用和颜色搏斗了,谁知还有一堆的ppt和海报需要设计。电脑什么温度的彩色都有,不再有借口说色笔少了。好吧,想说除了近视,我兴许还有点色盲。

那天,和同事聊起了颜色。她说,有的人到一个新的地方,就像白色画纸,让那里的人事物,一笔一划地添上色泽,渐渐地融入这个群,也成为了一分子。有的人,却带着强烈的主观经验,像一张带色的画纸,想融入却又让人难以下笔上色,最后多半带着色泽混杂的画纸离开。

后来,有机会接触形形色色的个案。他们都有各样的背景与个性,在彩色盘上混合出独特的颜色,为自己的人生作画,展现各样的图景。当他们的生活陷入困境,不晓得如何下笔的时候,志工的介入显得非常重要。如果只看到深沉的颜色,急着想把鲜艳的元素加入,那么只会成为志工想要的图画,理想的生活。

水,是无色无味的透明液体。志工只要像水,不带颜色及味道(价值及偏见),流进每个个案的色盘,融合及修复原有的颜色便可。水,也有滋润及润滑的功能,让垂死的生命可以继续生存,也可以让过不去的关卡通畅,却不留下半点的痕迹。

志愿服务里有个伦理:“志工不以自己的行为或信仰,加诸于受助者”,意即不强迫个案按照自己的方式生活,硬把自己的颜色加入他人的彩色盘。

让我们做个水一般隐形的助人者吧!
