Only now I realise why white lies are thusly named.

White is emptiness - without character.

White is the symbol of peace - an empty gesture in a world of violence.

White is blank paper - waiting to be filled with meaning from ink or reshaping.

White is the light from LED torches - efficient, without warmth.

White is purity - an unattainable desire of humanity.

White is snow - cold and harsh.

White is sterility - clean and hygenic, safe.

White is incomprehensible noise -annoying and meaningless.

White is aging - a graceless fall from boundless youth.

White is the glitter of stars - the reminder of our unimportance.













White is lies.

snow isn't always cold and harsh.

it's all in the perception.



white is beautiful. and clean.

...white lies, on the other hand, are bad, bad things.

I adore your thinking. Think to the Scarecrow Man from Wizard of Oz (can you guess what I recently watched?) when he says "If I only had a brain." And then he does a little dance. Well if I had a brain I would think like that. It would be great. Perhaps my head is just filled with White Noise at the moment (not the song that makes me want cry, why oh why did they need another album?)

White is interesting. I do like it at the moment, I am still decorating our Christmas tree, its white and silver themed this year. I think I just like the simplicity.

I re-stuck things on my cupboard door too. And wrote a little message on white paper saying "It was minimalistic."

Though if white is so simple it is a bit of a contrast to white lies, which are messy. I think I am thinking out loud now. So I will stop.

White is supreme.


Wait, we can't say that anymore.

I'm not racist, you idiots. It's called humour. I don't believe that any race is superior to any other. Only that everyone is an idiot and that Australia has a drinking problem.

Peace is never an empty gesture.

Blank paper is a beginning. Where it goes from there depends on who's writing on it.

Purity isn't unattainable. People are just too lazy, selfish and unappreciative to become it.

Snow is fun. Skiing, boarding... It's all good. And it relieves swelling.

Sterility saves lives.

White noise is useful in places like Parliament House. And it can be relaxing in moments of solitude.

Aging isn't always graceless. That choice is one to be made.

The glitter of stars gives perspective. But let's not forget that despite our size in relation to these giant balls of gas, we can be a huge part of someone's life.

White is only lies when you're lying.



White can be beautiful and innocent. It depends on how you look at it. With an optimistic eye, or a pessimistic. People will always see it differently.

One thing most people agree on is that lying is never good. And always black and white.
