Life in Gray

Life is filled with gray areas. Areas that could be slanted either way.
Life is filled with people who live their entire lives in these gray areas.

It's easier to live in a gray area. Much easier than actually standing for something, especially something that may make you lose things. Sitting down in a grey area doesn't take as much out of you as standing for something controversial does. That's why people like to stay there.
It's so much easier to just say that the world is screwed and you can't change it. Actually trying to change a world in which you think you have so much to lose is harder. Because sometimes you do lose things for trying to change things.

How important are those things, really?

Maybe someone who said they loved you won't be there in the morning. Maybe people who told you that you were amazing won't respect you in a week. Maybe all of the comfortable walls you've built around yourself will come crashing down.
Are those potential losses enough to keep you on the bench in a gray area?

Because the world deserves more,
You deserve more,
Than complacency.

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which have atually happened [Mark Twain]
