People in general seem to want a simple way of viewing life. They like rights and wrongs, blacks and whites, goods and bads. But life really doesn't work that way. There is always a grey area.
Let's look at the obvious example: race. Obviously there is more than two races, so why can't that be the case in other situations?
How about gay/straight? There is so much more than that. There's the whole gay umbrella. There's the whole rainbow of colors: bisexual, asexual, transgender, genderqueer, agendered, gender fluid, homosexual, pansexual, lesbian... I could go on.
Then that whole right and wrong thing. There is no "right" and "wrong." There is merely opinion. Who are we to say what is right and what is wrong? Everyone has the right to believe whatever is "right" in their opinion. But then again, maybe I'm wrong about that.
What about good and bad? All of those good vs. evil stories? Yeah. That wouldn't happen. No one is pure evil. In my opinion at least. Everyone has something good in them that makes them a worthwhile, good person. Maybe not the person you want to root for, but the person that has the right to their own opinion.
Life is basically a world of grey. It's something that isn't always pleasant, but often can make a boring day more interesting if you take advantage of it.
