Black & White

Before a period of time I realized something which made me a little not sure if it is right or wrong, I think it is because my different way of seeing things which can give them a very different perspective than the usual. Anyway, I kept that idea in mind, hoping that I will come up with something that support my theory or illuminate it. And I guess I found what I was looking for just when I thought I lost hope of such theory.
What I'd like to call "my theory" is something so obvious but people are ignoring it unconsciously, it is a way of thinking that made our minds really tight and do not fit in for any new ideas. Did you ask yourself once Why we tend to sort things in two groups? like we distinguish the bad and the good, each one on a side, but cannot we have a middle solution? something neither bad nor good? I guess it is possible, like something have both good qualities and bad ones, like us, humans, there is no chance in the world that there is the perfect person among us, but does this mean that all of us are bad people?? of course not! It is who we are, perfection can be annoying sometimes, and it is impossible because there is always more to achieve and more to learn.
My point is that we have to stop sorting things in groups; to stop looking at the white and the black, and consider the gray. It might be shocking to you to know about the things you are unaware of in that gray area, because it will give you a different perspective to see things, away from that traditional outlook that belongs to that lazy minds. Explore the potentials of your mind, God gave it to you so you work it by your own, not to rely on other people's opinions about things. You will be amazed of the things that you can come up with. You will discover a new self in you.

    this exact topic was wandering in my mind this whole day lol.. I love the way you put it, very clear and coherent.
    it's much easier for people to classify things as good or bad, probably they dont want to think hard in considering something and just submit to what society classifies in those categories...
    I think it only works for children as they don't have the capability to analyze and think deeply.. but us adults have to as you said think of things in different perspectives and acknowledge the good side and the bad side...

    i believe people chose the way to see things like the way it is because we have been through strict rules and traditions according to what society you belong to and if we cross these rules we would be totally wired like what happened to me when you visited the church :p i didn't accept the idea when u did it,however,when i thought about it second time i realized why not,So yea for creative minds and yea to expose to another cultures and religions and no to keep our minds in cooler:p

    thanks for enlightening and sharing your thoughts with us

    i partly agree with your point, however, i think we're reaching points everyday in our life that need to be either white or black not because of our traditions or laziness but only to make things clear,obvious and exact to us. believe me sometimes we hate to be in the "gray area" and i know we've all been there before.
    nice post :]

Caramelized Onions

My mom is used to watch those food channels, and whenever I am free I sit and watch with her, not that I like cooking, but it is only out of curiosity. That day I so that woman cooking a dish, and she said something about caramelized onions, and I started to think, it is such a strange term, but as the way the cook described it, it sounded so delicious. So I thought, onions are known for there bad smell, it cannot b someone's favorite vegetable for example, but still, it can make a perfect combination with a very opposite ingredient, sugar, contrasting with each other to create such a delicious flavor. Then I realized that there are many such contradiction in this world, contradiction that can create such a perfect unit. Although, the repeated stereotype known is that two alike are most likely can create a perfect unit, or a perfect couple, etc. But I guess it is totally the opposite, and life can show us many examples of this. Magnet for example, needs two opposite poles to be mag...

Another Reason Why I Hate Reality

I was completely shocked today when we were discussing some social matter that is related to our society. In fact, it made me really sad and my heart ached, I don't believe how low people can get! Some of you might heard of this and other might not, I didn't! They say that there are some girls who go to wedding or FUNERALS in order to show themselves as future brides for whoever is their who are looking for a girl to marry or whatever. What shocks me that places like weddings, funerals, or any social gathering ended up like this. I am really shameful by my own gender, there is no reason in the world that would let a descent girl sells herself like this, as a cheap object on a shelf in the corner. And worst of all, the fact that they are actually pretending to be someone they are not only to show others that they can be good wives while they are not. This is so sick, to use religion and social manners as a way to get what we need, I don't know how does this people think or h...

A Fresh Start

We all know that life has many obstacles, and because we are humans, we tend to face these obstacles all the time. Not just that, we also tend to face a lot of problems, the hard to be solved kind, only because at some moment we have made some stupid decision. Although, a stupid decision does not necessirly mean that we are stupid. The human mind meets a lot of destractions that might be from the person himself or from things around him. The heroic deed here is to get through them without making a big mess. A new beginning, these words gives the implication that there will be a fresh start once the problems are over. But, this freshness cannot be felt unless this person have a good plan for what his new beginning will be. The first thing is to set the goals, the second is to to have the deteriment to acheive these goals. However, before that, there is something really important, the step number zero. This step asks us to learn from the past, and then, dumb it in the nearest trash can a...
