Thoughts in Black & White

Everything is an eternal struggle, a clash between the principled and the careless. Each statement dissected, turned into cerebral aporia, framed within some cosmic battle of good and bad. There is no gray here, no sliding scales, no you-know-what-I-meant. There is only the frown, the sigh, and furrowed brows as we wonder if the fight is worth it. Holiness, righteousness, justice, our precious standards: does our ignorance forgive our insistence? How do we walk the line between relativism and a judgment we are not qualified to make? What’s the disadvantage of a strong values system? Yes, apparently there is one.
