philosophy of fading paint

jjudaharts

people always try to paint their true colours with black and white.
but paint fades.
and the true colours reveal themselves.

in short,the Lindy effect.
it states,
"the longer something lasts,the more true it is."

people always try to show their best features.
that is why they use white paint.
they always try to hide their worst features.
that is why they use black paint.

over time,
if they don't keep painting,
their true colours will show.

"painting" is pretense.
people try to be good to hide what is true.
they show their best and hide their worst.

but,it doesn't last long.
time is funny.
even if we hide and show,
time reveals.

that is the philosophy of fading paint.
