Why Life Is Grey 2

One of the bugbears in my life is people, and particularly Christians, who try to see everything in terms of a rigid right and wrong morality instead of recognising that life is mainly about grey areas and not just black and white. To illustrate this here is a photo from which I have removed the grey shades to leave it only black and white:


Not very good is it?


Can you tell what it is?


Here is the same photo with the greys all added back in:



Now you can see it's a picture of my son with his wonderful fiancee (plus a woman in the background).

Life isn't black and white but it's mainly grey or, as I put it before, grey areas are where dogma and love clash and it is important to let love win. Alternatively 'My Karma just ran over my Dogma.'

wholeheartedly agree. that's a wonderful pic that one never gets to see if everything is black and white.

I like the idea of life not being in black and white, but in colour!

Seeing it as grey seems a bit of a shame.
