White Obsession

I think white must be the most oft mentioned color in the Bible. An astounding 67 times. (Actually "gold" is, at a record 430 times, but I don't count it because it's used to refer to currency also) And it's my favorite color too! I didn't always like the color white. When I was younger, I preferred blue (must have been socialized into thinking it was a masculine color), and I always wondered why God would choose the color white for our "uniforms" in heaven. But over time my preference changed. No disrespect to those of you who have other favorite colors, but permit me to reason.

Firstly, as mentioned above, white must be the best color simply because it's God's chosen color to fashion our clothing with. So there.

Secondly, white is the color of light, and science has shown us that all the colors of the rainbow spectrum (except black) will combine to form white. So for those of you who hate white, don't worry. I'm sure our clothing in Heaven is bleached white, but allows us to change to other colors using the above logic!

Thirdly, it is research proven that white is the most convincing color. Surveys and experiments have shown that people have a higher tendency to believe the words of promoters on TV who wear white. So beware of the "scientists" on TV who sell you brands of washing powder, as well as your family doctor or dentist. However, you can trust the showgirls at the car or IT shows wearing white singlets and mini-skirts.

Lastly, don't you agree that white is the most beautifying color of all? (So far the only people who strongly disagree are David who has an obsession with orange, and Richard whose love for green started decades ago) Personal preference, but I tend to think that girls who wear white are much prettier. It takes courage to wear white, because assuming all else equal, white clothing tends to bring out one's figure. And looking back now, (coincidence or not you decide for yourself) all the ladies I've fallen in love with wore a completely white outfit on the very first day I actually noticed them. And the only occasional request that I've ever made for all of them was to wear white for me.

Okay, now that I've typed all this rubbish down, I realize I must be really tired. I'm about done with one module (out of five) for the upcoming exams. And had a sumptuous buffet at the M Hotel with my family too. So much more to finish, so many calories to burn, and so many after-exam plans to make.



But I'm still in love with white. Sigh. +)




She is ridiculously beautiful. I said to her one time that I was just so happy not to be in love with her because I couldn't imagine how awful that would be. I don't think she understood it was a compliment. -Writer-director Joss Whedon on his Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku

Yeah, I know exactly what that it feels like to fall in love with a ridiculously beautiful woman. Awful isn't sufficient. Beautiful affliction, that's what it is. Don't ask me if I've learnt my lesson or not, I have a gut feeling that I haven't. -Valentino Casanova
