This makes my life very simple. When I do right, there is a sense of freedom from worries, because, given time, the natural laws will do their job to ensure a good outcome. So I don't have to worry. When I do wrong, there is a sense of expectency of bad outcome, so when the natural laws catch up in time to do their job, I know that I get what I expectedly deserve. If there is grace in the situation, I treat it as a pleasant surprise which I do not count on. Therefore, in the same token, there is no need to worry. This worry-free simplicity makes life stress free and easy. In this realm of binaries, there is no need for me to lose any night of sleep over anything.
However, in this real world that I have no choice but to live in, I find very few binnies. Most people in the real world operate from a realm of grey. I called them "greyies". I don't know if I will ever adapt well in this real world. To me, grey matters are created because greyies really desire the wrong deep deep down in their hearts but yet they still want to look some what right in the eyes of others. Also, they need some means to ease their own conscience that can be at times haunting. So they spend a lot of effort to make matters grey by disintegrating the realm of binaries and mix black with white such that wrongs do not look so wrong but look kind of right. Such effort can be mentally exhausting, especially for the rookie greyies. Such process is also very time consuming as it requires a lot of skills and time to rationalize away the black and justify with the white without looking obvious.
Grey matters really complicate life and create stress. It is stressful because as always, there is the fear that the black in the grey will be exposed to make the greyies look bad in front of others. Grey matters cannot stop the working of natural laws and greyies always have to stress over when the consequence of the black elements in the grey will catchup with them one day. Their conscience may also remind them of this reality from time to time and therefore adding to the stress.
However, the benefit of grey matters is too great and tempting for the greyies to ignore. Only in the realm of Grey that greyies can allow themselves to get to the closest they can get to the side of wrong, or actually being right in the midst of the black, without actually and obviously being labelled wrong but still look presentably right. Grey matters are also convenient defusers of issues, conflicts and confrontations, which can be very threatening to greyies, and want to find easy ways out at all cost.
I created this blog to capture the progress in life as a binnie in this real world. As one can guess, it's expected to be eventful.
