The Statue

I walked by another likeness of the Buddha today. His color was a little green, verging on a sea or lime version of himself.

What colors do most people see when they think of him? I'm not sure.

I used to look at alot of pictures of the Christian savior in my home country. His artists generally tended to favor the white when depicting his various historical poses.

I remember there always being some kind of academic argument about that choice.

I don't know about you, but I wonder what color the Thai people think the Buddha was. Personally, I think they have a specific desire for his skin... But, I doubt it fits the actual picture....

It doesn't matter. There's always a way to paint over or change what you don't like here. Just spruce it up with some soft whitening scrub, powder, or the newest laser. I know it's possible. I see the effects every day, and people are willing to pay the price --- if they have the money.

After all, doesn't that look change everything! Isn't that the true indicator of a person's worthiness, their level of kindness, their desirability.

Lol, over the top I know, I think you get the point...

I know this... It at least greatens your chances to get on TV here.

You know what, pass me some of that face powder.
