Gray

In a world that is one or none, you will find some small gray areas. No more than a millimeter wide, but still a gap to fall into. Accept no invitation uncertainly or halfway, lest you find yourself in the little gray areas. In that world, but not, in neither place. The gray area. Your friends are not there to protect you now, nor are the others willing to step out of the crowd to save the drowning lion cub. That baby lion set out to sure from home, may never return, or reach the other shore. That baby lion is in the gray area of the world, in great danger. Doomed to have the black and white sides of the earth cave in on him. In a harsh world of acceptance, do not be caught in the gray areas. Do not play with options and answers or dawdle, over-considering. The gray areas... not a very nice place.

i hate grey areas... they're so very human. black and white are much more satisfying.

no. I think they are not all bad. sometimes it's comforting to not have to listen to anyone else or make any decisions, just be lulled for a while. but not too long! that will make you be very easy to manipulate, if you stay grey too long. But, as long as you can get out easily, the gray areas are sometimes oh, so comforting.
