Black, White or Gray?

When we were younger, things were simpler. Black was simply black, and white was just white. Our black and white vision seems to get interesting as we grow. As we grow older, somehow things become less simple than they used to. The Gray sets in. (Even the spelling of 'Gray' is gray, or grey. Whichever.)

With more knowledge empowering us, people would say that black and white areas are more defined and distinct. I agree and disagree. But I must say, black and white stuff, with no variety, makes life boring. Gray gives us an edge to play with, and live on. Gray gives us the challenge to venture, explore and discover new and different things, different from the tried and tested Black and White stuff.

I had the pleasure of accounting subject back in poly days. I must say, Accounting is generally known to be simple. Its black and white. Credits and debits are constant. With the same places to put in, and remove, add and subtract. Its the right one at the right place, you score the marks. I am very bad in accounting. Until today, I don't really recall having an accounting sheet balancing before. It is too straight, too rigid, no variations, no deviations, nothing. Just follow, and memorise, that's all you need. *rolls eyes*

I usually scrap through the Accounting subjects with a borderline pass and I am proud of it.

As much as I sound like a hater for rigid, black white stuff.Gray doesn’t look like where I enjoy being in either. There is no correct answer to many things in life & that makes living quite a headache somehow. Why can’t we put a regimental structure and standard onto everything so as to give everyone a break from all the guessing? Aren’t u sick of perpetually guessing what’s on anyone’s mind, & tired of trying out ur speech & actions to see whether it pleases someone?

Sometimes all I need is just a slightly more obvious (& of cuz sincere) sign from u whether I should be nicer to u, or simply guard my heart. I wasn't even expecting anything out of it right now, but if this guessing game is to be continued, I'll still be on my guards. Get it? No? Forget it.

So what if I guessed my way & made it through accounting? Hey, c’mon, don’t expect guessing to work all the time! Like Accounting, Black and White issues must evolve to a point where it remains good (assuming that it was good in the first place), beneficial and relevant to situations.
