Dear Thatcher,

This is Red. I'd like to make my case. You should think of me more as passion (red) and not anger (red). Without me, my color brethren can be a bit, how should I say it, boring. That win all the time rational orange, moral stick in the mud blue, and squishy kumbaya green all need me. They need a little chili pepper in their sauce. Spicy.

A bit of hedonism is wonderful, you pick your fun (booze, workouts, ice cream, Netflix). And where would we be without risks? Still an English colony I'd say. I make things happen. So maybe I go a little overboard with the whole power strength thing, but that’s why we have green and blue. So give me credit for Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Lewis and Clark, and Rosa Parks (yes she needed to get her red on). Even ORIX could use a little more red to its blue, hello purple?  Can you just get it done already?

It's Friday, so go for it. Carpe diem baby. Just think of me as a key part of your healthy, integrated self.

Sincerely,

Red
