Fable: The Picture
Apr. 5th, 2006 01:34 pmThere was a woman who once posed on a chair at a dining table, upon which stood a glass of some white liquid and a plate of rice with some vegetables on top.
Soon after the picture was circulated, people began to say that the glass held semen and the plate of rice with the vegetable artfully arranged on it was meant to represent the vagina. They censured her for her artistic representation, speculated ill on her behaviour and called her a dirty-minded pervert.
The woman was asked by a commentator, "People don't believe you when you say it's a glass of barley water and that you normally serve rice with vegetables. Does that glass really contain semen? And did you mean to represent the vagina on the plate?"
The woman, incredulous, replied, "do you say that because you truly believe it, or do you say that to be funny? And if you say that because you truly believe it, what do your thoughts speak about you?"
