The greys
So what is it about people. Let's see. Somedays I rather just not deal, and I don't care. Leave them, it all behind. The way people continually hurt each other. It's about greys. That's what I was thinking on the way to the post office in the rain.
When your first meet someone perhaps it's more black and white. Or maybe even not when you first meet them but that first level of a relationship. Are they good, are they bad. Do I like them or don't I. This really helps you sort out who might have potential. But then... at some point you need to move in to the greys. Disagreements, maybe saying something they don't want to hear. Maybe even more than that. Families typically live in greys. Fighting the grey and moving beyond it. That's when things truly are successful. Nothing's perfect. People make mistakes. Though the first time entering the gray area can be scary. What lies on the other side? Is it a 'deal' breaker?
Both people need to be able to move beyond the black and white. And be honest about it.
And don't get confused between black and white and right and wrong. TOTALLY different.
There are things that are right and wrong. Sometimes the greys confuse that - but they shouldn't. But what's right, wrong, and grey is something for each person to decide.
Right and wrong deal with morals, virtue. Black and white's a bit different. Not sure how to explain that.
Anyway. giving it all up, or moving to total grey. That's the debate.
