Gray

What is true and what is false?
Everything comes down to perception
People tend to view things in black and white
Often they see only in the way they want
Some only see the black
While most only acknowledge the white1

To see the white is to see the love,
happiness, and fulfillment in the world
To see the black is to see the sorrow,
pain, and suffering of this life2

To fall on either side is to be blind
To dwell on the anguish is pitiful
To accept bliss is ignorant3

Between the dark and the light
Therein lies the truth4

Those who advance
Those who flourish
Those who comprehend
Those who truly live
Exist only in the gray

    I love it! This is so very true, I always try to live my life in the "gray" area myself. Well written.
