Others view the world in terms of gray, with both good and evil coexisting within an individual. Are there cases where things are really black and white? Is the world really definative, and the shades of gray are just a deciet, or a justification for evil? or a twisted view of the good... or is the middle ground the way the world really exists? and if so is the black and white view of things justifiable since the time to analyze it the middle ground is a needless waste of time?

I view the world in black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. I disagree with "Seeing shades of grey" or other colors.

Abi, there is black and white, and there is grey. There is also all the colors of the spectrum :)
I mean, there are many perspectives, shades, & ideas.. and there is no one formula to define virtue, so you cannot even say it's either black & white, or only grey.. It always depends on many factors.
Your senses is all you've got in this world, you will have to trust it, so at least if your choice was a mistake you've learned something new and it's genuinely your own experience, not others' or adopted ones.
Avoid shortcuts.. many men could judge a woman's beauty from her look, but that's unfair, and it's a shortcut too!

It is situational depending on the results you, yourself want or a group as a whole.
*Black and white gives yes or no
*gray area's are a maybe my opinion will change as I am more educated.
But then it goes into how and what situations you would want to remain open or closed. Do we deal with it or not? Or the maybe means we can sit on the sidelines until someone has convinced us to be either way. And that is VERY crucial to balance to have an outcome that offers better results in some cases.
We need the bad to remind us of the good as well as a balance of both of them to gain a better prospective on things.
It is all about challenge choice and co-existing.

The answer is that it depends on what we're talking about .Different people have different ideas about what is good and evil.Yes there are cases where things are black and white .Did we have to defeat the axis powers during WW2?Yes , absolutely.No question.Some things do have a grey area and are very subjective.It's just something that has to be decided on a case by case basis.There are no one size fits all formulas for making decisions.Never will be.

I believe that yes, the world is sorted into good and evil, as you said, black and white, but, as many do not believe, I also Believe, there is a grey, a neutral.

Some cases are really BLACK and WHITE. For instance, the fellow who stood over a policeman in the street and shot him full of holes with passers-by all as witnesses. I'm with Thomas Jefferson on that one. They got him,,,he didn't have an evil twin...two week trial and a hanging. If it falls on Sunday...wait until Monday...then hang the scoundrel cop killer...but Mouton (Sp) is not a hero, either in USA nor in Paris...he's a cold-blooded killer.

Black and white is just easier. No decisions to make.
Better let the wise leaders point out the bad guys, then blame all the troubles on them.

Because it allows them a justification for their actions.
