black, white or grey?!

recently i had been wanting to blog on this for the longest time....
in fact just yesterday i was talking to a friend and told her that won't life be easier if everything is stated black or white. everything will be decided fast and it saves heartaches for lots of people. don't have to consider much just go by the rule. its all the consideration that cause the pain... cuz you are afraid to hurt others therefore decided against a totally logical decision. yet at the same time you can't sell the idea to yourself cuz that is just not you. *sigh* ok... that's me...

hmm... 1 example is adultary. i always hate people that stray from their family, relationship, etc. its a firm BLACK and SIN to me. but over the time, as i started to understand the work of passion, situational events and the mind (a little), its not all that black. its becoming grey to me. gosh! i am so surprise that part of me actually accepts it. just because i shifted my angle of view?!?! as we age, things gets more and more grey... gosh! and all these changes within me makes me so uncomfortable! not that i am resistance to change but i am just shock how can things that are so wrong are actually being beautified by the world (media) and eventually changing the mindset of humans.

i remembered a pastor telling me that the way of the world has no standard therefore it sways here and there and its lost in its search for correctness. but as believers we have the standard, the truth, in the Bible; study it well and it will guide you in your journey in life. but still.... having the standard does it means that people will follow the standard? compelled by the situations and influenced by the society how many believers had remain steadfast?

maybe its not the stride of steadfastness but the ability to fall and stand back up again that is of great value to God. the ability to realise the mistake, repent (saying sorry and not doing it again) and move on. afterall that's why we needed the messiah to come and cleanse us isn't it?
