Today, after finally receiving information about the annual Santa Pub Crawl, I googled "Seeing Red" to see the Spanish equivalent and out came 40,300,000 results for the phrase. It highlighted how many different things "red" can stand for. From a political prespective - communism; prosperity for the Chinese; rage; love (there's a juxtaposition for you); the AIDS campaign; danger; bull fighting; No. There's probably plenty more.
All they have in common is the sense of passion, an adrenaline high. Which is probably why red is never my favorite colour. All that excitement seems to read like a recipe for cardiac arrest.
