shades of grey..
As children, we were thought how to differentiate good from bad, holiness and evil, green and red…
Wait!! red and green? well.. erm… my own way of saying black and white… cuz.. well… some ppl (including me) feel it’s unfair to consider black as bad and white as good… ahahahahhaha.. so cuz green is my fav colour, thus green=good, and red=bad.. alas, red+ green= brown, brown=grey…
So, i guess my title for this post should really be shades of brown..
You see, as we progress in life, red and green starts to blend with each other, making brown. Decisions we make are no longer based on good and bad..
Take the story of Death Note as an example.. Raito kills villians, terrorists and all the other wrongdoers to create a world where peace prevails.. Is his doing wrong? Is his killing of others justified? But then again, haven’t we all thought, isn’t it better if these people are dead? Shades of brown…
Raito’s move did make the world’s crime rate plunge drastically, isn’t it good? Is it good? But L is hell bent on capturing Raito.. Does this make L the good guy?
You’re poor.. but since it’s only right to buy original cds,vcds and dvds, you buy the original ones? is it wrong that the poorer rakyat buy pirated ones? or should they forsake entertainment? Hmm?
We all know that lying is "wrong", but when parents lie to their young to keep them from getting dissapointed, from getting worried.. Is it wrong? Is it right? Shades of brown..
Teasing is bad? But what if that teasing has motivated that person to be better? But then again, the victims do suffer emotionally… So? Call the bullies bad?
Killing is wrong, but when you kill someone in defense of your life, is it wrong? is it right? In Malaysian law, if i’m not incorrect, the doing Is considered WRONG.. Is the action justified? But then again, don’t tell me that in order to abide to the law, we stupidly let ourselves be killed? Dumb move, no?
So what is Red? What is Green? What is bad? What is good? What is evil? What is holy? What is right? What is wrong?
So? How do one make decisions? Flip coins? Duh… Well? How? Confusing right? Sighz… why i post this title? i have no idea? cuz this post makes me blur as well… life is one big blur thing…. And blur people like me gets even more blur… T___T

nothing is in our hand…..
we can decide,but can the outcome be as what we thought,ponder what happened to ambulimala,the bodhisatva who killed 1000 people in order to attain nirvana,but at last he realised what he did was wrong……..so learn from ur experience
