People are writing and singing of gray...yet in my dealings it is ALL black and white.
People formulate opinions of others and there ain't much room for gray.....despite protest to the contrary.
And if people argued that everything was black and white you would say it is gray (Sorry but I just couldn't resist ) Originally Posted by discreetgentWhat I tried to convey is that there are people arguing about gray that in reality ( at least in my dealings with them) their actions are more attuned to black and white.

BTW WTF there's another new fella that joined today (see the Cleaver thread) that will probably get along famously with your world views and shades of gray Originally Posted by atlcomedy
Oh that breaks my heart! A sharp contrast to my abstract philosophy. Gray is the color of wisdom!..... I think I have a new girl-crush
I do not see a world of black and white, but a million shades of gray that whirl about, changing, shifting, dancing like smoke through the air.
I welcome compromise, because it is an act partnership.
I see only shades of gray - the world of black and white is too stark, too empty of subtlety, it is cruel and unforgiving. Like the beautiful softness of of old photos, it is the mixing of black and white, the endless grays that allow for stunning intricate complexity. We are all so unique, each life with it's own distinct whirl wind of circumstance, fate and choice, that most cannot fall into darkness or light. It would be like trying to pull a camel through the eye of a needle.
In a world of black and white there is only right and wrong. A harsh strike cannot be the act of passion, hungrily received. A soft kiss cannot be an act of cruelty that leaves one broken under the weight of desire.
Did you know in many ancient cultures throughout the globe that twilight, this beautiful misty place between night and day, was considered mysterious and powerful?
Come Marcus, dance through the twilight and learn to love the gray, feel it's magic through your veins.
Today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light.
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray.
I recently saw a lovely play "The Fall of Heaven". A black man in Harlem is killed in a travesty of justice and standing before St. Peter, before the gates of Heaven, he is sentenced:
"Go To Hell!" booms the Godly voice.
"No!" answered the tempest.
And so heaven itself is put on trial! It's cruel judgments of right and wrong, blind to shades of gray, tested when the angel Joshua is forced to live amongst mortals. He finds joys that even all the powers of heaven cannot bestow, but the imperfect "everyman" has created in this domain. Originally Posted by Lauren Summerhill
