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.

This is a great artistic expression of revenge, time, and the frear of the unkown. People always want the bodys effects and the minds tranquility. This is a great ✍️

I thought it a mistake painting white, it does show imperfections.
Black on the other hand gets to hot..
Split the difference? Safer grey.
nice perspective
tend to agree with you here..well said
