People who have thought this way, most of the time, got people killed in their own depraved mission. There is no right or wrong, or black or white. Life has always been a balance, and typically the human mind has to try and simplify it.

Without "black and white" "right and wrong" everything becomes relevant. If you do not think it is bad to kill another person then but I do, Who is correct? If I want your car and I steel it you can do nothing about it because it is alright in my mind. Without right and wrong there would be total anarchy.

Yes life has always been a balance. But exactly what are you going to base your decisions on without a clear distinction of right or wrong. A "depraved mission" as you put it is an interesting choice of words. Some people have very strong ideals. For instance, pro-choice vs pro life.

easily, what i could think of could be a good option, is that in case you have a "commonplace" white persons view on "black lifestyle". Their questions and interest approximately it. Their assumptions approximately it. i don't comprehend why he does not choose a white individual's view on black difficulty/individual. you should interview a form of white human beings from all backgrounds and ask them to define black lifestyle.. the broadest of the solutions, you could learn, turning out to be the essay you % to place in writing.

Life is lived in the in between gray area. Not just in the black or white. There is right and there is wrong.

Yes, it is destructive. Most cultures and religions have some version of black and white thinking. However, the Hebrew bible cannonized this logic in a way that had never been done before. It is extraordinarily dangerous.

Could not agree more. Most people who think only in black and white terms are frankly lazy thinkers, and want an easy roadmap to life. Religious fundamentalists can give them an easy way out and they don't have to ponder the big questions. Yet many of rhe best parts of life are in the delicious gray zones!

There is no right or wrong? If that is so, then there is just preference. Which means that it is not wrong for a rapist to molest a child, for a drive-by shooting, for someone to stab you to take your shoes. By your logic, those are not wrong, they are just preferences of the perpetrator.
Do not be duped by postmodernism. Truth is absolute... that is why it is called truth. Something which is 98% true is false.
Try doing geometry with relative truth. If you build a bridge with relative math, it will collapse.

I don't know if there is a group of people that exist that do not have their own standards of black and white or right and wrong.
Probably including yourself.

My personal opinion is that people who view in terms of their own are missing the big picture. For that reason, the idea of thinking in "black and white" is not productive, to say the least.

Absolutely poppycock. Without an outside standard of right and wrong, who are we to judge anyone for their crimes?
"Who are you to judge me, I did what I thought was right." --Charles Manson
Now how are you going to argue against him if you believe in this post-modern, cultural relativistic world of gray you're living in now?
How is female genital mutilation wrong, or infanticide?
There has to be an absolute standard.
