>There’s some things that are black and white BUT there are also many, many things that are gray...in my world anyway.<

Particularly today for some reason. Too many grotesque threads on FR. The awful things people do to each other! Today can definitely be called gray.

But philosophically, gray can also denote compromising a principle. Gray can depict a bleak outlook. Gray can mean limbo rather than direction

In order to wipe out the gray in our lives, we must cling to the white, and recognize the black for what it is. To be satisfied with gray is to remain forever mediocre.

So cheer up. Do something nice for yourself or for someone else. :)

Gray can also denote an acknowledgment of complexity and refraining from throwing out the baby with the bathwater (to use an over-used cliche). Gray is the hue that makes life interesting and breathes life into blacks and whites.
