Oflate, i've come across so many situations where i've been unable to tell right from wrong. Sometimes the circumstances and their interpretation make all the difference.
Right and wrong seemed so clear to me when i was young and idealistic. Idealistic, i still am, but as i grew up, i realized that life isn't so simple. Experiences have taught me that there are two sides to every story, and I find this huge middle ground which just cannot just be categorized as 'right' or 'wrong'. I've outgrown the naive 'Black and White' world view, and learned to see things as a shade of grey...
But are we as a society mature enough to accept this fact...are we not too judgemental in our opinions and too harsh on the people who land up in such situations. Isn't it too simplistic for us to commit to black and white, yes and no, wrong and right?
Or maybe what we perceive as a grey area is actually right and wrong interwoven with such complexity that it is impossible for people like me (confused lot) to discern between them. Time and again i grapple with this dilemma and all i can do is to pray to God to give me wisdom to be able to see right from the wrong in the so-called "grey areas" of morality.

This is an interesting thought.....I see that as we grow older we find ourselves in a lot more grey areas than a clear cut right or wrong....Infact all those things that I thought were wrong now fall in the grey areas....Its painful sometimes. I am getting wise beyond years..lol but find myself battling with situations that leave an aching feeling inside me. I am just trying to say...you are not alone when you feel that way :D
