Okay, I turn 34 on the 10th, and I think I have gone the exact OPPOSITE
way.  I used to believe in shades of grey until I realized that GOD
DOESN'T.  At Judgement day, people are either on His left or His right. 
There will be no people inbetween.

That as a PERFECT template of the issue, I believe that we only see grey
in one or two ways:

1) In our own personal lives, we see grey only if we don't know where the
line is in our own life concerning the issue at hand.  I believe that,
given enough time, I could find the line where the black is separated
from the white.  That is, I could find the line where you would say "Yes"
on one hand and on something very close, say, :"No".  That would be a
separation into black and white.

2) On a societal level, the APPEARANCE of grey areas is simply the
amalgamation of so many whites and blacks.  If you go into a paint
program and the background is white and you make a checkerboard design
where every other pixel is black, when you are through, it APPEARS to be
grey, but really is is a mixture of blacks and whites.  That being said,
in society, grey APPEARS to occur when so many people's white is mixed
together with so many other people's black.

What does everyone think?
