The Greys..
Different thoughts and different hues, after a brief
encounter with the blacks and whites, it seemed logical to write about the
greys
Grey is the color of the clouds that bring the much awaited
rains and a rainbow perhaps..
Grey is the result of the overlap of the black and white,
the good and bad and so many feelings and things that can really never be
defined.
Grey is that feeling, when you are a little lost and a
little low.. When the unknown beckons, yet the comfort of the known calls out..
Go back to some of those moments you yourself had – be it at
work, friends, finding love, buying a home, relocating, picking up a new job , separating
from a loved one, falling in love all over again…
For the working mother who yearns to spend more time with
her child, for the stay at home mom, who dreams of getting back to work..
For the man, who is caught between building a business of
his own and getting back to the security of a salaried engagement..
Every time that you were caught between two extremes and
were in a state of dilemma.., Every time that you had to make a choice and could not figure out..
Ever made a mistake? How do you feel? Is there something like being a little guilty
as compared to being guilty or not guilty at all?!!
Is there something like I am a teetotaler on all days except
Monday? Or I smoke once a week, hence am neither a smoker nor a non smoker?!
I was dishonest, but that’s
ok because the situation made me so and this occurs rarely!!!
How about this – When you are the perpetrator of a crime,
you feel that, of course life can be grey, but when you are the victim it’s
just so easy to be black or white!
Ever encountered people who say Maybe, perhaps, will try,
99%, probably, I guess so, could be, might be, let me check, in case etc etc
and keep you guessing till the very end..( I am also prone to the use of these
words, when I am unsure!)
How many of us use “Silence” as a way to get away with
things, feelings, conflicts, uncomfortable situations? Again is that not a grey
realm?
Taking the in between stance or moderation is then just an
excuse that helps you justify the devil in you.
Life does have a shade of grey in it. Confront the ghosts
and phantoms of your mind. Challenge yourself and keep them alive, avoid
seeking instant answers. And remember it is completely OK to feel the way you
feel.
There could be bliss in uncertainty. It could well be a perspective
or a phase that eventually moves you into clarity.
And so to end – Again To Each their own…until next week, do write back
with some of the grey areas of your life..
