Absolutely Relative
July 31, 2006
When we were young, everything was quite simple and straight forward. Right was right, wrong was wrong. Black was black, white was white. No in betweens, you are either 0 or 1. But as we grow older, we've learned that life is not that easy. We learned that there are a lot of numbers between 0 and 1 —- 0.001, 0.25, 0.5, et al. That between black and white there is this grayish color which just has too many shades. Doing the good thing is not necessarily right and doing the bad thing is not necessarily wrong. How could have things gotten so complicated? I guess we've learned that things could be relative. But relative to what? To what society considers absolute? But one man's trash is another man's treasure. So it's a matter of perspective. <Sigh>…This is so hard, it's like Einstein's theory of relativity. What I really just wanted to say is I wish life is not that complicated.
