blank

people always tell you "life is a blank canvas, you paint on the colours of your own life" or something like that. but why colours? i mean when you think of colours you usually think of orange red blue green purple pink or whatever. but never(well at least minority does) black or white. people never place black & white into the range of "colours". i mean they place them as "a white canvas with a black lining and shadow" which means uncouloured. to me of course. that blank canvas, isnt it white? isnt the lining of it black? so why is it considered blank? they are still colours right?

okay, so maybe you didnt get where i was going at. people arent like me, they dont crap these whole bunch on one single phrase. but sometimes it means more than words on a paper(or in this case on a website). its more then what you say to someone & more then the expressions on someone's face. its much more then that. its what lies beneath it, not whats up front before your eyes. things arent always as it seems. the next time someone tells you something. listen. actually listen. dont take what you hear as what it is. because its more than that.
