When approaching life matters, are you a black and white person or shades of gray?

Question

did I spell grey wrong....I can never remember, ist it an "a" or an "e"

Answer 1

Gggrrr, I hate questions like this, because I can come up with situations where they are black n white... and others that one would have to look at all of the shades to get a better understanding of it. :-P~~~

Answer 2

Some things are definitely black and white, there is no arguing with death for example. We can not PROVE 100% that gravity exists scientifically, but try dropping a brick on your foot you will know that a force we know of as being Gravity does exist. Similarly there are studies/academic research/statistics that are generally agreed that they are the most correct explanation we can find for things with the information we have now. So yes, there is right and wrong or black and white in many incidences. However, if you are talking about opinion, then yes it is often shades of grey. What I find interesting, not having really looked in this section before is the conflicting values and beliefs which are held by some of the contributors in this section. I wonder if this is particular to the G&WS section? These people seem to reverse and change their views, beliefs and values directly in response to the question. In their cases I think you can probably say that everything is black, white, red, green, blue, orange, yellow and probably grey too.

Answer 3

Invariably shades of gray. There are too many variations of people. I have always seen that for every "evil", something "good" comes out of the other side, and vice-versa. I put those words in parentheses because I don't believe in either. They are human words, with human connotations. I think of everything as positive and negative at the same time. It's all a point of reference.

Answer 4

I think Kithy and Lucky are right; Shades, not Necessarily of Grey, but of all sorts, Black, White, Grey and Many in Between....

Answer 5

Since Black is an absence of color and white is all colors in equal proportion there is only colors and its hues in the millions. Shades of grey are too limited.

Answer 6

I'm a black man with shades of white.

Answer 7

Duns Scotus goes a long way toward undermining they context of your question. Aristotle saw the the would as being made up of elements; blueness, forcefulness, light, etc... This way of seeing people still effect our way of thinking.

Scotus put forward the idea of THISNESS. He effectively argued that each of us is unique, and so much a collection of universally shared elements, such as your question forwards.

It is most useful to see the world as clearly as possible.

Answer 8

I am very black and white on some issues, and on others I have a grey area....so I guess both.

Answer 9

The matters of life approach and enlighten me.
