Black and white

Why black and white is so important?
Because those colors effect our judgement so much over the centuries that we put all our believe system on it. All the wars, prosecutions and executions, religious wars, moral chauvinism etc etc use the scale of black and white, wrong and right, good and bad, evil and angelic.
In all of those we very conveniently and easily forget millions of shades of grey that exist between those two colors.
And no one even think these two can be inter changed, change places. You can only go so much in one direction, after the darkest part of the night, it is morning again.

So is bad and good, acceptable and unacceptable. What is a bad practice and shameful for some culture, it is acceptable even useful practice for another. So lets not just be tolerable, but it is also important not to say they are wrong and we are right. That i s the whole point. That is what Rumi would say or Buddha or Gandhi.

That is why I am not so normal anymore.
Anything that is different from main stream thinking is abnormal, weird, miss guided, crazy etc? right? I don't mind being called any of those. And what I write and you read, than read it with closed eyes, will make so much sense, that is going to untangle your brains, soon you will thin k like me, of course I don't expect you to think exactly like me, just different, for yourself and use your brain power. Than maybe you wouldn't mind being called any of those either.
