For the love of gray


“ Once upon a time there were only two colors–black and white. The beauty of this lay in its simplicity. But as life became more complex, people learned how to mix the two colors, yielding various hues of gray.” - Shall We Dance, Rediscovering Christian Standards

Why do we love gray? Because of its complexity. People find complicated things interesting. That’s why if your FB status says “It’s complicated”, your friends will most likely ask you a lot of questions. So why not just black or white? Black. Death. White. Clean sheets. Both colors signify directness and simplicity. It’s easy to understand. No fuss. No confusion. Then why do we like to complicate things? Is it the thrill of scheming and having control over mind games?

I say if it’s giving you too much drama, get out before it eats you alive. Life should inspire you to do great things and not pull you down. Life is too short to sweat over the small stuff.

"Dance like no one is watching, love like you'll never be hurt,sing like no one is listening,and live like it's heaven on earth."- William Purkey
