Grey

My life revolves around a great number of people. People I spend time with, work with, or pass by on a crowded street on my way somewhere. People I care for dearly, and people who have no apparent connection with me......Each day, I find myself responding to a number of individuals in various situaltions, just like everybody else around me.

I often wonder, how many of us are aware of our true blueprint? Do we know how we respond to the variety of affairs life throws at us? Are all the reactions justifiable? Do we even sit back and think about how our actions, words, gestures impact those around us? No matter how small they are?

In the past few weeks, I have experienced great pain. And it is this pain that showed me the true colour of life : an amazing mixture of several traits, patterns, and colours in the form of 'people'.I believe, every individual is a product of opposite elements: wrong and right, black and white, good and evil, laughter and tears. Most of the times, the thin line between these opposite elements get blurred within each one of us. And the colour of life becomes grey.... simply portraying the essential mixture of all elements that it is made of....
