nothing in the world is absolute, there is no black and white, so what is your favorite shade of Gray?

Question

I'm not looking for actual shades of grey here, but examples of what is not absulote.

Answer 1

let me distinguish these kind of comments :
1-in philosophy {field of pure and deep thought}
2_in social science{field of actions,emergence}
....in pure thought field,this comment is meaningless.
...in field of emergence , this is a peaceful position for social communications that lead to tolerance.

Answer 2

Drug usage is an interesting shade of gray, here are a few examples:

-Some people say that absolutely all drugs are bad (they think it's black and white), but yet they may do legal drugs like alcohol and nicotene, or if they abstain from those, they'll still take pharmaceuticals for medially prescribed reasons or participate in the minor drugs of caffeine and sugar.

-On the other side, there are those who want to legalize marijuana because they don't believe the government should tell us what to do with our bodies, it's a victimless crime, etc. But yet, most of them would still want to keep something as terribly dangerous and addictive as heroin illegal, because it's just that bad, revealling that they have a double standard when it comes to doing whatever they want with their bodies.

With both of these examples, we can see that seeking the true absolutes, the true black or white, would be extremely dangerous. On one side, you could not even take antibiotics or drink coffee, on the other side, you could make every kind of incredibly horrible drug out there be legal. Most people are going to fall in the middle, some kind of shade of gray.

Thank you for the great question, if we could choose "best question" instead of "best answer", I'd choose this one.

Answer 4

Uhhm...i think the grey shades and this whole idea of no absolute black or white has been invented just to put people in comfort when things go really bad or get them back to earth when they're too divinely happy. Thinkin this, i belive that every "color" can be reduced to black & white and then just notice which fills it most. Anything can be reduced to black & white if u just exagerate it a lil.

Answer 5

My favorite shade of Gray is the page fence I am balancing right in the middle of now, refusing to give an answer.

Answer 6

Anytime the Red,Blue, Green values are the same you have gray. Anything from 0 (black) to 255(white). I like 100, 100, 100. It's pretty dark.

Answer 7

There is a spectrum in all things which include the black and the white and all the shades in between is human existance as we know it. black and white are the extemes of the spectrum without the extemes we would have nothing to gadge anything on

Answer 8

"nothing in the world is absolute, there is no black and white"

This question itself is currently my favorite shade of gray due to its understated contradiction. The phrase above, from the original question, is an absolute.

"NOTHING in the world is absolute, THERE IS NO black and white"

See?

i'm a photographer. it's the best shade to view photos against. that's why the background of photoshop is in a 30% gray. :)

Answer 10

There are few absolutes as everything is subject to debate. Even death is not an absolute as we do not truly know what happens when we die. Life is grey, and it's not such a bad color. It keeps things interesting.

Answer 11

I can tell you who is not absolute! My dog isn't! However, most likely he will chill out for the rest of his remaining days at my expense and he can careless which color shade his dry food has as long as it smells and tastes good!
