Black and White Idealism for Cleaner Gray

I've heard people speak of how Gray life can be and how it's pointless and actually inappropriate to think with a Black and White mentality. Why? Because they consider it rude, judgemental and outdated. In other words, they feel threatened by moral laws because they cannot live up to them.

I am moral. I am a sinner. Does that mean the universe is going to end?

Of course not.

If thinking in a white mentality is ideal, then blackness is never too far out of reach when one thinks in the Gray. Thinking in the Black and White affords you the cleaner thoughts of division - division between truth and illusion. Life creates multiple illusions, not that they are necessarily bad or evil. Such illusions can create a comfort layer between people and a possible harsh reality of their existence, preserving their minds from the degradation of a hard life.

One must keep the black and white in mind. If you think in black and white, the range of gray in your thinking, and your life, will diminish. The cleaner separation keeps the Gray from spreading like a disease.

Believe in truth, practice truth, recognize when you're not in the truth. Don't mistake something for truth when it is not, don't perpetuate an illusion because you enjoy its intoxication. If something is wrong, do not deny it's impropriety. Do not deny sin as a personal choice that is up to you to decide how wrong it is or isn't.

Morals were decided by the Creator and left in a massive book, full of examples, instructions, how-to's and some really cool stories. It is the single most defining faith that has survived and shaped human society as we know it today.

Now, despite the black and white mentality, you don't have to be judgemental of people. People live gray. I live gray, pastors, preachers, fathers... even the pope lives gray, if possibly less than others. So I'm not putting anyone above anyone else (save the Son). So, living gray, you should still remember to keep right, wrong, black and white, in mind.

You'll never attain 100% of the goal you seek, but if you keep your mind on 100, you might reach 90. If you keep your mindon 50, you may not even reach 30. Keep that mind.

Not all Men are Kings

A current and common misnomer among today's society is that all men are capable of being kings. ...that we're all leaders. ...that we all can reach the top.

Equality FOR men is not men ARE equal. I believe all men should be provided equal opportunity and that no man is BETTER than another, but not all men are equal.

Some are fat, some are short, some are tall, some are skinny, some are heavy, some are quick, some are slow, some are intelligent, some are stupid as hell.

Some people are built and designed to serve others in more ways than simply being an employee. I'm not talking slave. Slavery is wrong. Servitude is not.

In Britain, there used to be a sacred relationship between servants and master. I'm not referring to the slavery aspects of royal history, but rather the chosen profession of serving someone else. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement.

I think that many people lose purpose in life because they're being pushed and pushed to build their own household, when millenia have proved that many people can work with great purpose and satisfaction in the household of another.

The only problem is that America is the land of over-indulgent Kings. We're all kings and are pushed to be kings. Nobody wants to serve. Serving others is demeaning in our society. We think it less of someone who works as a manager at McDonalds.

Hey, whether you might like it or not, they ARE fixing YOUR food. You still got to eat, right? You gonna think less of someone because they're ensuring that YOU can eat without having to work at it like all the rest of us bloody yanks?

Everyone is built to be a servant. Not everyone is built to be a King.

Be willing to let go of your power for the respect and honor of living for someone else who may be built for something bigger than you. This is not a giving away of who you are, but rather live a life of purpose in fact rather than daydreams.

So choose your path, and don't be afraid to live as you feel you must. Be in purpose and heart what you know yourself to be.
