People have black and white but let's not forget the gray in between

Why do some people don't see the bigger picture? why don't they see that life or the universe doesn't revolve around them? Why do people find it so difficult to see the good in things and always easy to pinpoint the bad of everything? Well, lucky me, i found people opposite these people I am referring to right now. When you actually interact with those people whose actions and ways of communicating are motivated by their desire to serve and not be served by the world, it's hard not to notice the "bad" guys.

They say that there is always bad and good in everyone. It's just sometimes, just sometimes, the good is being defeated by the bad. But no matter how huge the space is covered by the black or the white, let's not forget the gray. There is always the power of choice. That's gray. It is the in-between that dictates the path that we are taking. And let's remember too that whatever our actions are, there is always this butterfly or domino effect that comes along. But this is not a reason for us to act like the ever self-conceited individuals. This fact is actually a reminder to us that "no man is an island" and that our actions either directly or indirectly affects others--in other words, why not work in a truest sense of being a team?

Instead of listening to the bad side, and whining about all the negatives about the people around and the environment around us, why not, let gray comes in and let it work with the white side. With that, the hope is to find more reasons to keep holding into the truest sense of interrelations... and the real importance of taking care of our relationships rather than compromising it with the "accomplishment" of all the task no matter what. For example, if there's a problem in communication, do not add to the problem by attacking. That "compromise" is sometimes "bad" because it lets these fragile relationships 'break."

Point is, listen to the bad, listen to the good then discern with the gray. The world wouldn't be the world if there's only one person on it. World is about life and life is about people not one person or task.

P.S. Never write emails, letters, or messages, or just drop communicating when at the height of strong emotion, especially anger. It will be reflected no matter what and more often than not, it results to more disputes.
