Doctor Clu's Dissertations - Why can't things be black and white?

[RSS Bot]

Why can't everything be black and white? That question got me thinking.

In a LARP I am part of a fighter company or family where the colors black and grey and from the above question I realize how true to life those colors area.

First off nothing is ever optimal or perfect which we'll assign the color white. White or godlike perfection is almost not in the equation in our imperfect existence.

What does that leave us? The opposite of perfection or order which would be a lack of order or chaos, we'll give that variable black.

From that, the only order possible in a imperfect state would be cobbled state we as imperfect beings agree on somewhat though seen from many points of view. We'll assign that variable grey as it is closer to white (perfection) than black.

And that is why things are not black and white but rather black and grey.
