The In-between

So the concept of everything fitting into 'black' and 'white' died a quick death.

I'm finding I'm more inclined to believe that everything is in shades of grey.
There's no black really, just a really really dark shade of grey. No white, just a light dusting of grey.

Black and white was easier.
Either/Or and there you have it. It was done.

The in-between is complicated. It makes allowances for anomalies and exceptions to the rule.
The best friend who would be at your side at a moment's notice to help you with all your drama is still capable of being a really bad boyfriend/husband.
Or the loving, accepting, open-minded couple can still let all kinds of traditional hell break loose if one of their children marry outside 'the community'.
And the boss you look up to and admire, even aspire to be, can be unethical on more issues than you care to count.

It's all allowed and there's not really much you can do about it.
It's the grey you see?
