Life in the Gray Field


From l.l.lipshitz:

"see, that's the problem. alot of people here see the world in black and white only. not me. i'm very grey."

That's the problem with people like me who see the good and the bad on both sides. It may be a bit boring. Possibly a bit very gray.

Make things very dramatic, very black and white, and it starts getting "alive".

That may be why we like Hollywood films. Easy to understand, and of course, the good guys always win. We know that! But still we get involved in the intricacies of the movie... Try to make the bad guy win and everybody would go back home depressed...

But, hey, you know what? Live is not a Hollywood film! And things simply are not that simple...

In real life, alas, sometimes the bad guy win. But then, are there really "bad" and "good" guys to start with? I don't think so...

See? I told you. Boring...

So if you get bored, stop for a while and look around you. That's where the colors really are. That's were life is. You may even want to switch off your computer and take a walk!
