Shades of Grey Part Two
“You’re either with us or against us.�
How many times have you heard that phrase?
I said in the last post: “Shades of grey belong to the open mind, while the closed mind faces only black and white. The closed mind may have a simpler and more organized existence, but it will never see all the true beauty the world and life can show it.�
We are living in a world where it increasingly becomes ‘if you’re not for, you’re against’, leaving little to no room to abstain or find a better way of doing things. While abstaining is often the path of not getting emotionally involved (and thus not hurt) in anything, but having that option is still something that needs to be respected.
A world of ‘for or against’ is a close minded world that does not acknowledge differences but seeks to destroy them. ‘For or against’ is how people get other people to blindly follow things that they might not agree with.
Better to serve the wolves than die with the sheep?
What can be done about it? That’s up to you.
If you so choose, you can go on your spiritual path to find your personal shades of grey. You can also spread the word about what you have found.
Or, you can submit.
The choice, as it has ever been, is yours. But as we walk as a race more towards ‘for or against’ it becomes more of a requirement for you to take action to not submit to your other human beings.
We live in a world where many people, sometimes even without realizing it, will take advantage of good intentions. That’s why it’s up to you to explore the spiritual path. The help and well meaning of other people will only get you so far.
Find your shades of grey and stand up to keep them.
