Black and white.
Truth and lies.
Right and wrong.
Can everything be reduced to these opposing labels? Do they hold the same meaning for you as they do for me?
For some people like me the truth can be empowering and the search for it can be the engine that drives life. The truth gives me clarity in this world of greyness, helps me figure out which side I stand on. But isn't too much of truth as dangerous as too little of it?
The older we get, we find it easier to stand at the distinction line rather than moving to either side. Reality begins in messy complications and most of what we experience in life lies in the middle, in the 'grey area'. It becomes one of the biggest challenges of life to navigate through it. The line seems to be almost smudged; with the lies looking as appealing as the truth, even more so.
So what do we ultimately base our lives on? My version of the truth, your version of it or the path of deception and deceit. Maybe none of these are the right options and we just gamble with life or maybe we choose the path that promises to hurt the least.
